ORGANIC NIGER SEEDS (UCHELLU / HUCHELLU / RAMTIL)

Small, black, teardrop-shaped oilseeds with a deep, toasty flavour that comes alive when roasted. In Karnataka, they are known as uchellu, the key ingredient in the traditional uchellu chutney pudi, enjoyed with hot rice and a spoon of ghee.

Organic Mandya Niger Seeds are food-grade, cleaned, sorted and packed whole, with nothing added.

Also known as: Uchellu / Huchellu (Kannada), Karale (Marathi), Ramtil (Hindi), Valisalu (Telugu).

FOOD GRADE — NOT BIRD SEED

Niger seed is sold internationally as nyjer bird feed, but Organic Mandya Niger Seeds are food-grade, carefully cleaned, sorted and packed for cooking. Perfect for chutney pudis, spice blends and traditional Karnataka recipes.

ABOUT THE FATS IN NIGER SEED

Niger seed contains approximately 35–40% natural oil by weight. Most of this oil is linoleic acid (Omega-6).

Niger seed is not a significant source of Omega-3.

If you're looking for plant-based Omega-3, explore our Organic Flax Seeds or Organic Chia Seeds.

GROWN IN KARNATAKA

Uchellu has been cultivated across Karnataka for generations, especially in regions where hardy crops thrive. It is a traditional ingredient in Malnad and southern Karnataka cuisine, most famously in Uchellu Chutney Pudi.
