It's worth thinking about your health in the fall, starting with breakfast. Do you like oatmeal? That's good because this dish can be enriched with an ingredient that will do a lot of good for your body and enhance the flavor of the oatmeal.

In the summer, you might choose 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.

Small seeds have power

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

Why does black cumin work?

What is hidden in black cumin? Primarily, it is rich in vitamins (A, E, F, and those from the B group) as well as 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. It goes well with both sweet and savory versions of oatmeal, and it is best served with seasonal vegetables.
