Black Cumin - Nigella: properties and benefits:


Almost unknown, these seeds have been part of our diet for thousands of years so as to be considered "the Blessed Seed" for the numerous therapeutic properties. Black cumin is rich in vitamins, mineral salts but also in oleic acid and linoleic acid. Nigella Sativa is the official name but these seeds are so widespread in all cultures that they are called by various names such as black cumin, black sesame, Roman coriander, black seed etc.
Black cumin seeds are rich in vitamins , especially A, C and group B, and mineral salts, including calcium, iron, copper and zinc. They also contain omega-3 and omega-6 essential fatty acids, linoleic acid, oleic acid, polyphenols and saponins. Both seeds and black cumin oil are useful for raising immune defenses, treating digestive problems and bad breath, kidney, liver, respiratory and cardiovascular problems.
The oil is also excellent for fighting certain skin conditions , such as acne, dermatitis and eczema. In this case, it must be applied directly on clean and dry skin.

Origins and history:

The name nigella derives from the Latin niger, black, the color of the seeds. Given its widespread use, it is known with many terms, which confuse it with other spices: black cumin, black seed, fennel flower, nutmeg flower, Roman coriander, black onion seed, black sesame or black wheat.
