Black Cumin, also known as Nigella sativa, claims a rich history and has been valued in different cultures for thousands of years for both its culinary and medicinal uses. This variety features sparse branching with hairy stems, accompanied by flowers that are a periwinkle blue and are aesthetically pleasing in the garden. Upon flowering, they develop a balloon-like capsule. The seeds grow inside the capsule until they are ready to harvest, and possess a warm, peppery flavor, including just a hint of onion, nutmeg, and citrus. Black Cumin is known for its medicinal use and health benefits, including anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antimicrobial properties. It is also believed to enhance the immune system and is rich in essential fatty acids, vitamins, and minerals. And, that's not all, it's also chock-full of proteins, thiamine, riboflavin, and niacin, no wonder it's such a sought-after herb! Black Cumin seeds can be used whole or ground, added to spices, sprinkled on bread, or incorporated into salads and a host of other dishes.
