You've got questions. Big questions. Who am I? What's above the sky? What's nigella, you wonder? Can I eat it?
Nigella, aka ketzach, charnushka, kaloji, black cumin, black caraway, onion seed, and many other noms de plume—this is one of the world's most complex spices.
Flavor notes that come to mind: sweet, buttery, anise, peppery, floral...

This reminds me of when I was in H.S. The first time I had Halva I was a teenager. I had some friends who lived in an area of town that had places to buy Halva. They took me to those places and I have been in love with Halva ever since.
That was in Rochester, New York....many, many years ago. I found it again in Houston, Texas. A friend that I was working with told me about it and I couldn't wait to have it again. When I saw your ad on shop I was overwhelmed. Had to have me some Halva. I, of course, finished the container in 2 days. I tried so hard to not finish it so quickly. The harder I tried the more I lost. It was just like I remembered it all those years ago. Thank you so much for giving me the opportunity to have some more. It was absolutely fantastic! Y-u-m-m-y!!!!
