Nigella, often called black cumin in common parlance, is one of those delicate, airy annuals that gracefully integrate into the garden. From its Eurasian origins, it retains a taste for bright summers: its finely cut foliage creates a delicate green lacework that weaves easily among vegetables and flowers. When it blooms, its simple blossoms add a subtle touch to the vibrant garden and hint at the aromatic seeds to come.

In a harmonious and diverse vegetable garden, black cumin takes up little space, adapts to the changing seasons without any particular requirements, and provides its seeds for cooking. Its unobtrusive presence respects the balance of the fertile soil and integrates naturally into a respectful approach to gardening, where each plant finds its rightful place at the heart of the garden's ecosystem.

Annotation:

Black cumin seeds (nigella) are used as a spice in various culinary traditions, particularly to flavor certain breads, stews, and spicy dishes.
