Jet black and nutty, these seeds have been used for flavor and health for all of recorded history. Grown in Fayoum,an ancient agricultural community in central Egypt, they add a savory, roasty flavor and aroma to breads and savory pastries, cheese, pickles, relishes, or chutneys. Lightly toast them to release essential oils and then add whole into curries, soups, or sauces. May be sprinkled on top of breads and pastries or incorporated into doughs and batter for flavor and crunchy texture. They may also be ground for spice blends or make a paste like tahini.
