Niger Seeds
Niger seeds, also known as ramtil or blackseed, are native to Ethiopia and are widely cultivated in India, Nepal, and other countries. They have been used for centuries in traditional medicine for their anti-inflammatory and immune-boosting properties.
In addition, they are a rich source of essential fatty acids and protein. Niger seeds are commonly used in Indian cuisine for pickling, chutneys, and sweets. They add a nutty and slightly sweet flavour to dishes.
