Product Overview
Nigella sativa
Native to South and Southwest Asia, this ancient spice is also known as Black Seed or Black Cumin. Used for centuries in eastern cuisine and as a medicinal remedy for bronchitis and to clear stuffy/blocked noses and sinuses: In Morocco, seed is placed in a cloth, twisted into a ball, rubbed vigorously and then inhaled deeply, one nostril at a time.
Grows in a small compact bush up to 12" (30cm) tall and produces pretty, delicate pale blue flowers which become seed filled pods. Makes for an interesting potted plant.
