BLACK CUMIN ORG

..... a nutritional powerhouse

Black cumin, also known as Melanthion, Himeron, or Nigella sativa, are small black seeds from an annual plant in the Ranunculaceae family originating from Southern Europe and North Africa.

Its use includes the preparation of tea by adding a teaspoon of seeds to warm water, letting it sit for 10 minutes, with the cup covered to prevent the escape of its aroma. The seeds can also be added to cooked foods, whole wheat bread, wine or vinegar-making. They can be ground and mixed with honey or sprinkled over salads. They are also an ideal addition to salad dressings and can be added to fried dishes, especially when combined with lemon and tahini.

Black cumin can serve as an excellent tonic when mixed with honey and garlic for individuals with asthma or cough, as well as for those looking to boost their immune system during flu and cold seasons, or when an infection begins.

According to medical studies, black cumin is characterized for its anticancer, antidiabetic, anti-inflammatory, hepatoprotective, antihypertensive, and nephroprotective properties, ranking it among the top foods in modern human nutrition. Black cumin contains chemical compounds with strong antioxidant activity, with thymoquinone being the most important of these substances.

The seeds have very little aroma but dissolve gas, meaning they tend to aid in digestion and relieve gas in the stomach and intestines. They also help in peristalsis and defecation.
