Black cumin seeds are often confused with regular cumin but are known for their unique flavor and potential health benefits.

Black Cumin Seeds: These seeds come from the Nigella sativa plant, which is different from the Cuminum cyminum plant that produces regular cumin seeds. Black cumin seeds are also known as nigella seeds or kalonji. They have a slightly bitter, peppery taste and are used in a variety of cuisines, especially Middle Eastern and Indian cuisine. They are purported to have health benefits and are also valued in traditional medicine.

Black Cumin: This term can refer to the seeds themselves, or the ground form of the seeds. The term "black cumin" can sometimes be confused, as it is used interchangeably with black cumin or nigella. It is important to ensure that the product you are referring to is derived from Nigella sativa and not from the Cuminum cyminum (common cumin) plant.

Organic Black Cumin Seeds: Black cumin seeds are grown organically without synthetic pesticides, herbicides, or GMOs. Organic black cumin seeds are valued for their purity and the natural methods used in their cultivation and may be of interest to those looking for an environmentally friendly and health-conscious option.
