Description: For over two thousand years the black seed (Nigella sativa), a plant from the Ranunculaceae (buttercup) family, has been traditionally used by various cultures throughout the world as a food and in health and general wellbeing. The ancient Egyptians knew and used the black seed. Tutankamun is even believed to have had a bottle of black seed oil in his tomb. Nigella sativa originates from Western Asia and is a herb that grows about 16-24 inches in height and has white flowers when in bloom.
