Nigella is used as both spice and garnish in Indian and Middle East cuisine. The flavour is mildly aromatic, and when cooked (roasted, baked or fried) emanates notes of oregano and a light, peppery bitterness, a bit like bread crust.
In the European world, Nigella seeds are being increasingly used in seed bread, vegetable, fish and lamb dishes. Nigella seeds originally come from India and are used in many of their most popular dishes, either as sprinkles on flatbread, and vegetable and meat curries.

This is culinary royalty. The third most expensive spice in the world by weight after vanilla and saffron, Cardamom’s influence stretches from the curries of India to the bakeries of Scandinavia, not to mention in world famous gin distilleries and tea houses. Mill & Mortar sources its whole Organic Green Cardamom from the rainforests of Sri Lanka, where the villagers of Pilimathalawa have to get to the pods before the monkeys and boar eat them, or before the leeches, mosquitoes and other insects eat the pickers themselves.
