How can I use these black cumin seeds in everyday cooking?

• Sprinkle on naan, bagels, or seeded bread before baking for a crunchy top.
• Add a teaspoon to spice blends, dressings, or marinades for an earthy accent.
• Toast briefly in a dry pan to enhance fragrance before adding to rice or vegetable dishes.
• Use as a natural dark speckle in doughs and batters for visual interest.
