prairiewindmomma Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 Nigella is in a lot of Indian recipes…it has an onion-y flavor. They are easy to buy in any Indian grocery. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YaelAldrich Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 Kalongi seeds. We used them for a while on the direction of my daughter's allergist while in oral immunotherapy. I also got some for preventative COVID. I haven't been good about taking them though. I use them in some of my Indian food. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corraleno Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 I use the seeds in cooking, especially curries, or sprinkle them on salads and avocado toast (with Everything But the Bagel seasoning). I don't have a specific brand to recommend, I just get them from an ethnic grocery store, but I'm sure Amazon sells them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitestavern Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 We just started taking Health’s Harmony brand black seed oil capsules. Supposedly good for Covid as it does not let virus replicate. I am also taking to naturally lower blood pressure. Studies are promising. I believe it takes a month or two to see results. Really hoping it helps bc I hate taking prescription medications. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halftime Hope Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 I take a teaspoon of the oil every morning. It doesn't taste good (aromatic like turpentine, with a bit of a kick), but I follow it with a strong spiced tea, so it doesn't matter. I take it because, like holy basil (tulsi), its an adaptogen that boosts the immune system. It was recommended to me by my oncologist a long, long time ago, but I didn't start taking it until the pandemic. I knew my immune system would be stressed, so I started taking it. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3642442/ Here's one review, and there are about six others linked on the lower right of the page. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mathnerd Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 I buy the seeds from my local indian grocery store (they are sometimes mistranslated as "onion seeds", but the indian term is Kalonji). Organic kalonji seeds (nigella sativa) are also available on amazon. I add it to any of the flat breads that I make. It is also added frequently during tempering of curries (a process similar to infusing flavors of spices into hot oils). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
