Cumin is a soothing digestive aid that has magical properties (almost)! It boosts immunity, fights viral infections and helps remove toxins in the body. It is also anecdotally known to be a gentle nootropic as it can boost cognitive performance, relieve stress and alleviate insomnia. Cumin is high in Thiamin, Vitamin A and Niacin and contains high quantities of iron, manganese and calcium.
