SC - cumin

[Seton1355 at aol.com]

Hi David et al;
I thought I'd ask the mavens on my medieval cooks list the difference between 
cumin & black cumin.  Here's what came in.

<< Cumin is Cuminum cyminum.  Black cumin is Nigella sativa.  The spice cumin
 is made from the fruit of the cumin.  The spice black cumin is made from the
 seeds of the black cumin.  Just to make matters fun, cumin is sometimes used
 to referred to black cumin.
