Black cumin: The autumn wellness boost your oatmeal needs

It is worth thinking about your health in the fall, starting with breakfast. Do you like oatmeal? That's great because this dish can be enriched with an ingredient that wonders for your body and enhances your oatmeal's flavor.

During the summer, you could choose from various fruits for your oatmeal. They are delicious and full of vitamins, but now another addition is more important. In the fall, it's worth focusing on it. These humble seeds have great power.

We are talking about black cumin seeds. These small, black seeds are becoming increasingly popular. We find them in bread, cheese, salads, but adding them to oatmeal can also bring many health benefits. Additionally, oatmeal itself is quite bland, so the distinct taste of black cumin will give it a new character. They can definitely transform oatmeal.

What is hidden in black cumin? It is primarily rich in vitamins (A, E, F and those from the B group) and minerals such as zinc, magnesium, calcium, iron, potassium, and selenium. Thanks to these components:

• Black cumin has antibacterial and antiviral properties, supports the immune system, and helps fight infections.
• It lowers bad cholesterol and blood sugar levels.
• It aids digestion and inhibits the growth of Candida Albicans fungi, detoxifying the body.
• It supports liver function and alleviates acne symptoms.

Adding black cumin to oatmeal is a simple way to enrich your diet. Black cumin goes well with both sweet and savoury versions of oatmeal. It is best served with seasonal vegetables.
