SUMMARY:Spice of the Month Take & Make: Nigella Seeds
DESCRIPTION:September Spice of the Month: Nigella Seeds\n\nNigella seeds\, 
 also known as black cumin or kalonji\, are tiny black seeds with a nutty\, 
 onion-like flavor that add crunch and intrigue to savory dishes. Common in 
 South Asian\, Middle Eastern\, and North African cuisines\, they’re used 
 in breads\, pickles\, and spice blends. This month’s kit celebrates their 
 bold versatility with recipes and books that reflect tradition\, memory\, 
 and flavor across cultures.\n\nAbout the Program\n\nThe Spice of the Month 
 is a year-long journey through global flavors\, where each month features a
