Blue wildflower

Nigella damascena

 

The famous Greek physician Dioscorides used black cumin seeds to treat headaches and toothaches.The reason might be found in the complex chemical structure of the seeds. These little seeds have over one hundred different chemical constituents, including abundant sources of all the essential fatty acids. Though it is the oil that is most often used medicinally, the seeds are a bit spicy and are often used whole in cooking—curries, pastries, and Mediterranean cheeses.

 

Wishing you all Health and Happiness !
