About Nigella seeds
Nigella seeds, also known as black cumin or kalonji, are small, black seeds with a slightly bitter, peppery flavor and a hint of onion. Native to South Asia and the Middle East, they are a staple in Middle Eastern, Indian, and North African cuisines, often used as a spice in bread, curries, and pickles or sprinkled as a garnish. Packed with antioxidants, nigella seeds boast a rich nutritional profile, including fiber, protein, iron, calcium, and vitamins such as B6. They are known for their anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties and may support digestion, heart health, and immune function. Despite their health benefits, they should be consumed in moderation, as excessive intake may lead to digestive discomfort for sensitive individuals. Versatile and flavorful, nigella seeds are a nutrient-rich addition to a balanced diet.
