Date: April 29, 2011 01:11AM Also known as Black Cumin. They're flower seeds.
I won't ask if anyone here has tried them, but rather has anyone ever heard of them?? I don't recall how I stumbled onto them, but I've ordered 5 pounds, and joined a support Forum.....WY [curezone.com] Re: Black Seeds (Nigella Sativa)

Date: April 29, 2011 03:20PM I haven't tried them, but there was an episode of The Apprentice (UK) where the challenge was for each team to find a list of hard to find/unusual items and nigella seeds were one of them  Re: Black Seeds (Nigella Sativa)

Date: April 29, 2011 04:52PM That's interesting SI.
The Prophet Muhammad said the Black Seeds were "a remedy for all diseases except Death". A claim like that gets my attention. Also, the Black Seeds were found in King Tut's tomb...for the next Life. I bought seeds from IndusOrganics.com. I'm going to try them in my Green Smoothies. I think the most important claims are they boost the Immune System, and are a cure for Pancreatic Cancer.....WY [en.wikipedia.org] Re: Black Seeds (Nigella Sativa)

I'm going to try to press the Oil from the seeds with my Wheatgrass Juicer. John Kohler sells a Samson Juicer that has an Oil Press attachment.....WY [www.discountjuicers.com] Re: Black Seeds (Nigella Sativa)

No kidding!! The Oil or the Seeds? I think that's just Great. I'd be worried that the oil would turn rancid, and plan to press only what I can use at the time.....WY Re: Black Seeds (Nigella Sativa)

I wish I had known... ive probably given away millions of seeds... they are so pretty!!! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Oh, mirror in the sky What is love?

Think of the feeling of taking your own homegrown medicine. They do look like they provide an abundant amount of seeds.....WY [en.wikipedia.org] Re: Black Seeds (Nigella Sativa)
