cure everything but death

Purchased to make tea. Black seed tea is great for inflammation, blood pressure and a great antioxidant. Perfect for a teapot w/infuser. Tastes great w/cream & honey!!

This is a good score all around. Healthy, tasty, versatile (many uses in the kitchen), and good price point. What's not to like?

This stuff is great I think I have to be a little more consistent to get the benefits I'm looking for.

If you looked up these seeds then you know of the historical hype associated with them. I'm not going to dive into the health benefits, but rather warn you of the potent smell and taste of these. I followed the advice of others online and heated them up in a skillet before using any. My first attempt at using them was just a spoonful with honey. It was awful. I mean....AWFUL. The taste stuck in my throat for hours. Since I make smoothies every morning, I grind up a spoonful with my chia and flax seeds and it's not nearly as bad, but don't let that fool you...the smell and the taste is still extremely strong in my 16 oz smoothie, which I typically put water, protein powder, an emergen c packet, and whatever fruits I have...typically blueberries, strawberries or a banana. Nevertheless, the taste and smell is something you get used to and it's not that bad. Don't let it scare you off initially. I have high blood pressure and some inflammation/injury in my back and I believe that these seeds are helping.UPDATE 9/23/2016 - I've been using this in my smoothie every morning (except the days when I am running late, and of course lazy weekend days lol) and I can say that my BP is down about 10 points as of late and I have less inflammation than in the past. I also have not gotten sick in quite some time. The only issue that I still have from time to time is sinus headaches, so while this may not actually be a literal "cure all", it's proven to be quite beneficial.

This product is truly organic and exactly what I need! I love the fact that the seeds are much more palatable to consume than the actual oil. Please don’t misunderstand: The somewhat unpleasant flavor is still there (it’s inherent to black seed oil), but it is much, much milder than the concentrated oil. I do make a point to grind these seeds in my Nutribullet, and this ensures that the phytic acid from the seeds is broken down. And that means that all the nutrition is bioavailable to my body.So, after grinding these seeds, I combine them with freshly-ground organic flax seeds, add them to water, and drink the concoction every day. These tiny little seeds are really helping my gut heal.I’m so VERY HAPPY that I found them! They are Non-GMO and high quality, and I will DEFINITELY be ordering them again.

I use these seeds in my bread and they add an incredible flavor.

I like it
