Question 2

Is it best to grind the seeds or are they as beneficial not ground?

Accepted Answer

Nature protects seeds and nuts with the outer shell. The shell also ensures the proliferation of the item by protecting it from digestion. Animals that eat the seed or nut, grind them with their teeth; but not all get ground. Hence the natural spread of the species via the bowel movement. Do not grind in advance; but rather at the time of consumption. The shell or husk that protects the innards also keeps the beneficial goodies intact. When you grind them you release them. Those who do not grind do not get the healthful benefit that is released by opening mother natures barrier. Pre-ground items are a waste of time and effort as the benefit has likely ‘long gone’.

Question 3

Can these be sprouted and eaten as sprouts

Accepted Answer

Unfortunately, I did not try to sprout them and only have a few seeds left which I put into a bowl of water to see if they will sprout.

Question 4

These taste horrible. Extremely bitter and inedible. What are they supposed to taste like?

Accepted Answer

I have only had them on salads.  I'm weird, probably.  I like them, they have a taste like cumin, to me.  So it's kinda like having a taco salad without having to make taco filling.  Somewhere I read you must heat these before eating, but so far, I have been unable to find any particulars like how much heat; for how long?  I also have the oil which I take by teaspoonful per day just as it comes out of the bottle.  I also bought a book about black seeds, but the information there is very general as well.  If you know a nutritionist, you might ask if they have any specifics on how to use them that might be more to your liking.  Let me know, please.
