Nutrition Corner - Black Cumin
Black cumin is not actually related to cumin; it’s a member of the buttercup rather than carrot family. Also known as Nigella sativa or simply “black seed”.
Daily black cumin consumption has been found in systematic reviews and meta-analyses of randomized controlled trials to significantly improve weight loss, cholesterol, triglycerides, blood pressure, and blood sugar control. Typical doses used in studies are just 1 or 2 g of black cumin a day, which is about a quarter teaspoon.
It also been shown to lower markers of inflammation, such as C-Reactive protein, and may have favorable effects on inflammatory conditions, such as asthma, rheumatoid arthritis, and a common cause of hypothyroidism called Hashimoto’s thyroiditis. Black cumin also appears to help get rid of kidney stones and help with the symptoms of menopause.
