Black cumin or nigella seeds come to mind...can you describe them? Are
they long like cumin, caraway, anise or fennel seeds (i.e. an
umbelliferous plant, if that's the word I'm looking for). Are they
round? Are they bigger or smaller than peppercorns, etc.?

I'll check a few books for the name "krydpeppar", but a description
might help.
