Nigella Seeds – Bulk Supply for Bakery, Confectionery & Culinary Applications
Product Overview
Nigella Seeds, also known as black cumin or kalonji (Nigella sativa), are prized for their distinct peppery flavor, aromatic profile, and numerous health benefits. Traditionally used in bread toppings, savory pastries, and spice blends, they also enhance confectionery products with a subtle earthy bitterness that balances sweetness. Naturally rich in thymoquinone, antioxidants, and healthy oils, nigella seeds are recognized for both their culinary and functional properties.
At Tuna Sourcing, we supply premium nigella seeds sourced from trusted Mediterranean and Anatolian farms, processed under the ISO 22000 Food Safety Management System. The seeds are cleaned, sorted, and graded to ensure consistent purity, flavor, and particle size, making them ideal for industrial bakery, snack, and health-food production.
