What is Avicenna Black Seed Extract?
Avicenna Black Seed Extract is a concentrated product made from black cumin seeds, also known as nigella seeds. The seeds are used as a spice in dishes and baking across parts of the Middle East and South Asia; the extract is intended for use in smaller amounts than whole seeds.
It has a bold, earthy, slightly bitter taste. Follow the product label for how to use it, or mix a small amount into yoghurt, dressings or a savoury dish; it should not be assumed to be the same as black seed oil. Its nutrition profile includes fat, protein and fibre. Because its flavour is assertive, start with a little and pair it with mild foods such as plain yoghurt or soup.
