History

Kalonji seeds have been found in several sites from ancient Egypt, including Tutankhamun’s tomb. Although its exact role in Egyptian culture is unknown, it is known that items entombed with a pharaoh were carefully selected to assist him in the afterlife.

The earliest written reference to N. sativa is thought to be in the book of Isaiah in the Old Testament where the reaping of nigella and wheat is contrasted (Isaiah 28: 25, 27). Easton’s Bible dictionary states that the Hebrew word ketsah refers to without doubt to N. sativa (although not all translations are in agreement)

Interesting Facts

Kalonji oil is made from truly a remarkable herb called nigella sativa, popularly known as Black cumin or Black seed.

Both Kalonji oil and seed are equally good but kalonji oil is preffered over seeds as it is 35-50% more potent and convenient to use.
