About Black seed
Black seed, also known as Nigella sativa or black cumin, is a small, black seed native to Southwest Asia and the Middle East. Renowned for its use in traditional medicine and culinary practices, black seed is often added to bread, curries, and pastries for its earthy, slightly peppery flavor. Packed with nutrients, it boasts essential fatty acids, antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals. One of its key compounds, thymoquinone, has been studied for its potential anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and immune-boosting properties. Additionally, black seed oil is popular for its purported benefits to skin, hair, and overall health. While black seed is considered safe when consumed in moderation as food, excessive intake of its oil or supplements may lead to digestive discomfort or interaction with medications. Celebrated for centuries, black seed remains a nutritious addition to diets worldwide.
