No issues. Based upon others I thought these would break a tooth but, they are not hard. Similar to sesame seeds in density from what I could ascertain. Packaging container is nice as well.

Good quality but way over priced. Go to the local Middle Eastern market and get a pound for a couple of dollars.

These seeds have been around for thousands of years. They are for various health problems. I add them to my daily salad.

I love it. Tastes terrible but flat out knocks out acid reflux. I don't take more than 2 (measured) teaspoons a day. (there is a toxicity level when I researched it but its like 10 or 20 spoons). Normally I take a teaspoon in the morning and a teaspoon in the evening. If I'm suffering or about to eat something heinous, I take 4 -1/2 teaspoons a day. Tastes pretty good in coffee so I can enjoy my beverage without the stomach upset. Tried mixing it with plain yogurt but it was pretty bad. Mixed it with honey and its okay that way. Lately I have been mixing it with water and drinking it down so I don't taste it in my food. I do roast the seeds and I have a coffee grinder set aside for this. My husband hates it when I roast the seeds because you can smell it in the house. haha. I usually roast enough to last a while, grind and store it. I have noticed they have a stonger affect when freshly roasted and ground before I add them to coffee/ water ect to take. Almost a numbing affect. All in all I really recommend this product. I picked seeds over oil so I could be in control of what I am taking. I am breastfeeding and from what I have studied it also increases breastmilk, ya!

I already changed my diet to low card whole grain mostly, no rice, no sugar, but my fasting was still high above 120 , so after every meal i take `1 table spoon of almond spread dip it in to black seed jar and eat it,, I start seeing amazing results after 1 hour blood test went down at first it was 177 then after 2 months my blood sugar after 1 hour meal 60 g carb became 95, yes i did lose weight too and yes I drink lots of water too, but i reached to this mainly because of the black seed, i did many tests with and without it , please use Black seed every meal 1 tea spoon. you don't have to buy this one,they all the same to me, i bought mine from local Egyptian market in Richmond Virginia for 2 dollars only and got the same amazing effects, also I had kidney problems before, not any more, my last test shows no protein leaking, I did research on my own and the benefits of black seed on blood sugar, high blood pressure, heart diseases, are amazing, I have to add that in addition to black seed as great antioxidant, my diet include kurcom - turmeric,.and lots of green leafs all kinds, I'm much better now, and my skin looks younger , my hearts beats better, and hopefully every one here will have the same effect I'm having, I don't know if this will last or not, but surly I am not going to listen to my family doctor because he really only try to gain profit from my sickness ... all the best of luck!
