The flowers of Nigella damascena are just as edible as its seeds - which taste like nutmeg. In his book "Edible Plants of the World", published in the 19th century, Lewis Sturtevant mentions the cultivation of Nigella damascena in Turkey for its seeds, which, like those of Nigella sativa, are used as condiments. Both species have traditionally been considered extremely medicinal. In fact, a 2015 study highlighted that Nigella damascena is not a diuretic like Nigella sativa, but has more powerful antioxidant properties than Nigella sativa.

Sow lightly, directly in place, in well-warmed soil. Press lightly and water in light showers. When plants have 3 to 4 leaves, thin out if necessary, leaving only one plant at 30 cm in all directions. To extend the flowering period, stagger sowing.
