A SEED WITH
FANTASTIC PROPERTIES
3000.BC is a tribute to nigella (Nigella Sativa Seed, also known as "Black Cumin"), traces of which have been found 3000 years b.c.
Nigella was used in ancient times and during the Babylonian civilization.
Egyptian physicians added nigella seeds to all the meals of the pharaohs for the quality of its nutrients and its medical benefits. Nigella seed oil is said to be one of the beauty secrets of Nefertiti and Cleopatra, and a vial of nigella oil was even discovered in the tomb of Tutankhamun (to ensure his immortality after death, according to their tradition).
Hippocrates, Dioscorides, and Galen recommended its consumption for various health problems.
In the Middle East and North Africa, prophetic tradition tells us that it cures all ailments except death and that it is a blessed seed. Many recent scientific studies have brought nigella back into the spotlight for its exceptional properties.
