OTHER: Nigella Sativa is not the same as Bunium Persicum, which is also called black cumin. Nigella Sativa seeds are small, black, and nearly round with a point. The seeds are used as a spice, sometimes in place of actual black cumin. It is popular in Mediterranean, Indian, & Middle Eastern cuisine, dry roasted & used to flavor curries, salads, veggies, meat & poultry, & made into breads like naan bread. They have a spicy fruity taste, compared to that of nutmeg or exotic peppers, or slightly bitter with flavor reminiscent of onions, oregano, & sweet fruit. This herb is native to Asia, & it has many traditional medicinal uses & an amazingly huge list of health benefits!
We also have Kala Jeera Black Cumin (Bunium persicum) seeds available.
