How Kalonji Is Evaluated

Checking the Khushboo (Aroma)

Crush a few seeds between your fingers. Good Kalonji gives out a strong, sharp, slightly onion-like smell instantly.

Color and Look

The seeds must be jet black. If you see too many grey or brown seeds, the stock is old or not dried well.

Saaf Maal (Machine Cleaned)

Raw Kalonji from farms has mitti (dirt) and stones. Always buy machine-cleaned stock to save your factory's grinding machines.

Dryness (Sukha Maal)

The seeds should feel fully dry in your hand. Damp seeds will stick together in the bag and get fungus very fast.

Buying & Storage Check

What to look for:

Make sure the black color is deep and the same all over the sample.
Check that there is no dust or kankadi (stones). This is very important if you are a bakery.
The daana (seeds) should be whole, not broken into powder at the bottom of the bag.

How to Store Bulk Kalonji:

Keep the 40 KG bags inside a dry, well-aired godown or warehouse.
Keep strictly away from water leaks or rain. Water ruins the natural oils in the seeds.
Always keep bags on wooden pallets (lakdi ka patra) so they don't soak up dampness from the floor.
