Introduction: A Rising Star in the Spice Trade
While turmeric, cumin, and coriander have long dominated India’s spice exports, Nigella Seeds (Kalonji) are now emerging as a super spice in global markets, especially the USA, UK, and Middle East. Packed with health benefits, bold flavor, and therapeutic potential, Kalonji is quickly becoming a favorite among chefs, health enthusiasts, and herbal medicine practitioners worldwide.
For Indian exporters, this trend presents a high-potential niche market. If you’re looking to tap into the next big spice export, Kalonji could be your golden ticket.
