BLACK SEED
Black seed is a plant. People have used the seed to make medicine for over 2,000 years. It was even discovered in the tomb of King Tut. Today, black seed is most commonly used for asthma, diabetes, hypertension, weight loss, and other conditions, but there is no good scientific evidence to support most of these uses. When eaten, the seeds have a bitter flavour that's often compared to cumin or oregano. Black seed is used in salads, and some Arabic sweets.

GROUND ALLSPICE
While its name suggests a blend of spices, allspice is the cured, unripe berry of a tropical evergreen tree found in the Caribbean, Central and South America.

ANISE STAR
It's aptly named for the star-shaped pods from which the spice seeds are harvested and has a flavour that is reminiscent of liquorice. Because of similarity in their flavour and names, star anise is often confused with anise, though the two spices are unrelated. Star anise is famed not only for its distinct flavour and culinary applications but also for its medicinal benefits.

It is widely cultivated and used to flavour food, candy, and alcoholic drinks, especially around the Mediterranean.
