CARAWAY SEED, BLACK / NIGELLA, 7.5 lbs.

Caraway (Carum Carvi) is a very old spice. There is evidence going back to the Stone Age of its use. It is the seed of a biennial plant that has delicate leaves and white blossoms. Caraway use declined a few hundred years ago but it has begun to revive in the past 50 to 70 years. It is also referred to as "Nigella Seed". Caraway Seed caked is a traditional dish made with Caraway. Austrian and German cooking is where Caraway is used most today. This seed is used to flavor breads and pastries. The Black Caraway Seed is smaller than Traditional Caraway and has more of an intense flavor.
