Black Cumin

Black cumin, also known as Nigella sativa, is a small, black seed that has been used for centuries in culinary and medicinal applications. With a distinct, slightly bitter flavor and a hint of pepper, onion, and oregano, black cumin is a popular spice in Middle Eastern, Indian, and Mediterranean cuisines. It can be used whole or ground in a variety of dishes, including curries, breads, rice, and salads. In addition to its rich taste, black cumin is known for its health benefits, including antioxidant properties, anti-inflammatory effects, and potential to aid digestion and boost immunity. The seeds are also sometimes pressed to make black seed oil, which is widely used in skincare and natural remedies.
