Hi Shanthi. Nigella sativa or frequently the seeds are referred to as black cumin, has been used for centuries, both as a herb and pressed into oil, by people in Asia, Middle East, and Africa for medicinal purposes. It has been traditionally used for a variety of conditions and treatments related to respiratory health, stomach and intestinal health, kidney and liver function, circulatory and immune system support, and for general overall well-being.
In Islam, it is regarded as one of the greatest forms of healing medicine available. The prophet Muhammad once stated that the black seed can heal every disease-- except death. ( From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia )
Shanthi the fruit is a large and inflated capsule composed of 3-7 united follicles, each containing numerous seeds. Yes, the seed may be is used as a spice.
