PRODUCT INFORMATION:
Black Seed (also known as Nigella Seed or Kalonji) is derived from the fruit of the annual flowering plant known as Nigella Sativa, in the family Ranunculaceae. This superfood is a natural rich source of TQ (Thymoquinone), antioxidants, Vitamin B complex, Calcium, Zinc, iron, antioxidants, minerals , Omega 6, Omega 9 and essential fatty acids. Nigella Seed is renowned for its culinary flavour and medicinal uses and has been considered as a miracle cure for a diverse range of ailments for thousands of years. Black Seed has been used for helping the body to fight infections, balance the immune system and minimise allergic reactions. Many of the folk medicinal claims of Black Seed use have been scientifically tested. Over 150 studies have been conducted over the last five decades to investigate chemical and pharmacological properties of Black Seeds. In addition to this many of black seed’s traditionally ascribed health benefits have been thoroughly confirmed in the biomedical literature. In fact, since 1964, there have been 656 published, peer-reviewed studies referencing it . It was even found in Egyptian pharaoh Tutankhamun's tomb, dating back to approximately 3,300 years ago. This shows its importance in history for healing and protection. In Arabic cultures, black seed is known as Habbatul Barakah, meaning the "seed of blessing." It is also believed that the Islamic prophet Mohammed said of it that it is "a remedy for all diseases except death."
Also known as Kalonji or Black cumin, Nigella seeds belong to the buttercup family of flowering plants. The fruit is a large seed capsule with up to seven follicles that contain small, pear-shaped white seeds, which only turn black when exposed to air. Gathered before they burst, the fruits are carefully dried and gently crushed to collect the seeds. Nigella Seeds are a magnificent aromatic and flavoursome spice, full of antioxidants that have grown in popularity across Australia due to these distinctive properties. Their aroma is similar to fennel and has a pungent flavour alike to nutmeg, with notes of oregano and black pepper. These characteristics contribute to why they make a great pair with savoury dishes. Black Cumin seeds are commonly roasted and ground as a spice, widely used in India and the Middle East to season curries, bread, and sweet confections. Several compounds, such as thymoquinone, carvacrol, t-anethole, and 4-terpineol, are responsible for nigellas' potent antioxidant properties and there is some scientific evidence to suggest that black cumin helps to boost the immune system as well as many other health benefits. Black seed can be taken as a supplement on its own or why not add our versatile nigella seeds to your next dish? Nigella Seeds are amazing mixed with manuka honey for an array of health benefits. As well as sprinkled on salads, cereal, yoghurt, mixed in smoothies, in baking and treats.
