Do any of you understand how nigella seeds can be onion seeds?
This cropped up last year on The Apprentice and again last night on
Masterchef. On the latter, the contestants were asked to identify
different seeds. They are apparently used in Indian cookery. The
seeds labelled nigella/onion seeds looked like both but cannot be
both.
Can you explain?

I've seen nigella labeled as black onion seed. Grow some and see how
they turn out.
