Black cumin is particularly beneficial for autoimmune disorders, where it supports the immune system and prevents the destruction of healthy cells. When combined with garlic, it further strengthens immune responses and maintains cellular balance.
It’s important to distinguish black cumin from caraway; although they belong to similar botanical families, they are not the same. Caraway, related to fennel, has a bitter taste, whereas black cumin, part of the parsley and coriander family, offers a sweet-spicy flavor with peppery notes.
The health benefits of black cumin are vast and diverse. It is known for preventing serious conditions like cancer, diabetes, and obesity, and is beneficial for treating hair loss, skin problems, and various infections. Croatian scientists have discovered that certain phytochemicals in black cumin can reduce cancer cells by 52% in lab mice.
