Black cumin (Kala zeera) (250gms)

Known locally as Kala Zeera, this rare Himalayan spice has been treasured in mountain kitchens for generations.

Traditionally gathered from the high-altitude regions of the Himalayas, Kala Zeera is valued for its deep, earthy aroma and warm, slightly smoky flavour. A small pinch is often enough to bring character to simple home-cooked food.

In Kinnauri and Himalayan households, it has long been used in everyday cooking, added to dals, vegetables, rice dishes, breads and traditional preparations passed down through families.

More than just a spice, Kala Zeera is a taste of old Himalayan kitchens, simple, fragrant and deeply rooted in tradition.

Our difference

We believe seasonal produce should come with a sense of place — from the land itself, with the faces, stories, and traditions behind it. Kayang is about helping you connect with the landscape, know where your food comes from, and feel part of the family that grows it.
