Black Cumin or Nigella Sativa is a herbaceous plant giving beautiful blue, white or pale pink flowers. Nigella sativa can be found all over the Meditarranean and in the Middle East. It has been widely used as a medicinal plant in the arab-muslim world and its consumption tends to develop worldwide thanks to the many benefits of its tiny triangular seeds. The aromatic seeds of black cumin can be used as spices in different recipes but also as a remedy against different health problems. As a matter of fact, the black cumin seeds contain many different components with antioxidant, antibacterial, fungicidal, anti-inflammatory, immunostimulant and antitumoral properties.

Known as Islam’s miracle cure seed, black cumin is also called Habbatul barakah, meaning “seed of blessing.”

Black cumin seeds (Nigella sativa) have been used therapeutically for over 3,300 years, since their first reported discovery in Egyptian Pharoah Tutankhamun’s tomb.
