How do I use black cumin seed?

Nigella seed is mainly used for its health benefits, although it can be used to give a special flavor to your dishes.

You can use it in several ways: raw by eating it, grinding it, incorporating it into a dish, or adding it to another natural product and fusing their benefits.

Fuse your seeds with another natural product

To reap the benefits of the seed and another product, you can blend them together. This is especially the case for ingestion use, not cosmetics, where the oil will be preferred.

The best ingredient for this remains honey, with which the texture will be ideal. You'll even forget you're consuming nigella.

The best ingredient for this is honey, with which the texture will be ideal.

To wit, we offer nigella honey where the seeds are directly incorporated.

Ingesting raw black cumin seeds

Habba sawda seeds can very well be ingested directly, without dilution. Nor is it compulsory to grind them into powder.

To reap their benefits, we recommend consuming them in the morning on an empty stomach.

The seed is the original form of black cumin, from which the oil is extracted and from which the powder is produced. So it's in this form that you'll get the most potential benefits.

Crushing your seeds

If you can't stand the feel of small seeds, you can grind them using a mortar and pestle, which will be very effective.

Be aware that by crushing them, you inevitably lose some of their active ingredients, up to 30% loss due to heating of the product.

This is why we advise you to buy professionally ground black cumin directly in powder or capsule form if you can't stand the seeds.

Cooking with black cumin seeds

Introducing your seeds into a hot or rather scorching dish will most likely cause you to lose its benefits.

The ideal is therefore to introduce them into a cold salad, to which you will have added a natural vegetable oil such as olive oil, which goes very well with them.
