1. Is black cumin the same as black sesame or black caraway?

No. Black cumin (Nigella sativa) is a completely different seed with its own distinct flavor and health properties.

2. How much should I consume daily?

Most people safely consume ½–1 teaspoon of seeds or oil per day, but always start small to see how your body responds.

3. Can pregnant or breastfeeding women use it?

Moderate culinary use is generally considered safe, but medicinal doses should be discussed with a healthcare provider.

4. What does black cumin taste like?

It has a warm, slightly peppery, onion-like flavor with a hint of nuttiness.

5. Can I use black seed oil instead of seeds?

Yes—black seed oil is more potent. Use ½ teaspoon in warm water, smoothies, or drizzled over food.
