Nigella sativa, also known as black cumin, is a versatile spice native to south and southwest Asia. Its finely divided, linear leaves surround delicate, pale blue and white flowers with up to ten petals. The plant produces large capsules containing numerous seeds, which have a pungent, bitter taste and are used as a spice in Indian and Middle Eastern cuisines. Nigella is commonly found in bread, cakes, curries, and pickles and is often sprinkled atop Peshawari naan for added flavor and texture. While traditionally known for its culinary uses, Nigella sativa oil is also rich in conjugated linoleic acid, melanthin, nigelline, and other beneficial compounds. With its unique flavor and potential health benefits, nigella is a valuable addition to any kitchen.
