| Similar in many respects to the more familiar Nigella damascena (Love in a Mist), but the flowers are smaller and usually white, occasionally pale blue, on delicate stems clothed in very finely divided foliage. In Asian countries the seeds are traditionally used in rice dishes and confectionery. They are also reputed to have medicinal properties and are used as a herbal remedy for treating conditions including indigestion, water retention and fever. NOTE: Externally sourced, organic seed. |
