basic information
Black cumin (Nigella sativa), also known as black seed, is an herb with small, black, crescent-shaped seeds used in culinary and medicinal applications. The seeds have a peppery, nutty flavor, often added to breads, curries, and spice blends in Middle Eastern, Indian, and North African cuisines. Medicinally, black cumin is used to support immune health, reduce inflammation, and aid digestion, often consumed as oil, capsules, or tea. Its compounds, like thymoquinone, are studied for potential antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects.
