Description
Starwest Botanicals Organic Nigella Seeds offer premium quality black cumin seeds sourced from certified organic farms and carefully processed to maintain their potent nutritional profile. Also known as black seed or kalonji, these small but mighty seeds have been treasured for centuries in traditional wellness practices across Middle Eastern, Mediterranean, and Asian cultures. Each 16-ounce package contains whole, unprocessed seeds that retain their natural oils and bioactive compounds, including thymoquinone, which is responsible for many of their beneficial properties. Starwest Botanicals maintains strict quality standards, ensuring these seeds are free from pesticides, herbicides, and other harmful chemicals. The seeds have a distinctive, slightly bitter flavor with notes of oregano and onion, making them a unique culinary addition to breads, curries, and spice blends. These versatile seeds can be used whole, ground into powder, or pressed for oil extraction. USDA Organic certification guarantees authenticity and purity, while the generous 16-ounce size provides excellent value for regular users.
Suggested Use
Use 1/2 to 1 teaspoon daily as a dietary supplement or culinary spice. Seeds can be consumed whole, chewed thoroughly, or ground into powder and mixed with honey or warm water. For culinary use, toast lightly in a dry pan to enhance flavor before adding to dishes. Store in a cool, dry place in an airtight container to maintain freshness and potency.
