Description :

    Nigella seeds are black with a slightly wrinkled appearance, somewhat resembling black sesame seeds. They have a hard, crunchy texture and a slightly oily feel. These tiny, black seeds have a unique, nutty flavor and a savory taste that adds depth and complexity to many dishes. Nigella seeds have a delicate, yet distinctive aroma with hints of black pepper and oregano. The plants’ seeds are considered to be the most valuable part contributing to beneficial health effects.

Benefits :

  • Ayurvedic medicine suggests taking kalonji seeds combined with mint leaves for a memory boost.
  • A study reported that taking kalonji daily for three months significantly reduced fasting blood sugar, average blood sugar, and insulin resistance.
  • Kalonji seed oil is a natural remedy to treat toothache and other dental issues.
  • Kalonji helps maintain glowing and clear skin and fights several skin problems, such as acne, scars, dry skin, skin whitening, pigmentation, wrinkles, and blemishes.

Uses :

  • Most often, nigella seeds are lightly toasted and then ground before being added to recipes — however, they can also be added whole just like sesame seeds.
  • Kalonji seeds are used as a spice in various cuisines, especially in Indian, Middle Eastern, and North African dishes. They add a distinct flavor and aroma to curries, bread, and pickles.
  • Black Cumin has been used in traditional medicine for its potential health benefits. It is believed to have anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and antioxidant properties.
