Elwendia persica, also known as black cumin, blackseed, or black caraway, is a plant species in the Apiaceae family. It has a smoky, earthy taste and is often confused with Nigella sativa, which is also called black cumin. The dried fruits of E. persica are used as a culinary spice in northern India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Afghanistan, Tajikistan, and Iran. It is not commonly known outside of these areas. In Hindi, it is known as kala zeera or shahi zeera, and in Urdu, it is called syah zirah or kaala zirah. In Persian, it is known as zireh kuhi, and in Malayalam, it is called sahajīrakaṁ. The seeds are highly valued as a garnish in special Indian dishes and should not be ground as it would reduce their flavor. The plant produces slender, ribbed fruits that are harvested when the plant is very dry, and only a small amount can be harvested from each plant, making it a high-priced spice.
