Description:

Black Cumin Seeds (also known as Kalonji or Nigella sativa) are small, black seeds derived from a flowering plant native to South and Southwest Asia. These seeds have a long history of use in traditional medicine, particularly in Ayurvedic practices. Kalonji seeds are known for their wide range of health benefits, including immune-boosting, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties. The oil extracted from the seeds, often referred to as black seed oil, is particularly prized for its ability to support digestive health, improve skin conditions, and reduce inflammation.
