BLACK SEED OIL

Sarah Wambugu

Black Seed is also known as Black Cumin or Nigella Sativa or Kalonji or
Black Onion… among other names. It is packed with nutritional benefits.
From it, is extracted an amber colored oil. Experts say the darker the oil
the better as it has not been heavily diluted and therefore retains most of
its benefits.
Kalonji has been used – it is said – for millennia for various health and
beauty regimens from Asia, to Europe, the Middle East and Afrika.
