Black cumin full of nutritional properties

Although it looks like poppy seeds at first glance, it actually has nothing to do with it. Black cumin, also known as black cumin, is an annual plant from the buttercup family that was originally grown in the Middle East and is now also common in Europe. Black cumin seeds are tiny, black, coarse, have a sharp spicy aroma, and taste reminiscent of bitter coffee. However, this bitterness is sure to be mitigated by the valuable nutritional properties inside the seeds.
