Crna slačica ( Brasicca nigra ) je jednogodišnja biljka koja pripada familiji kupusa Brassica. Raste u regionima sa umerenom temperaturom i relativno vlažnim zemljištem. Voli sunce i djubrenje i sazreva za 45-50 dana , od maja do avgusta. Semenke su sitne, samo oko 2mm u prečniku i postoje tri vrste- žuta, crna i braon. U osnovi sve one imaju vrlo slične osobine, jedina je razlika u stepenu jačine ukusa. Seme slačice je bez mirisa, ali kada se žvaće u početku je uljasto, gorko-kiselkastog ukusa, a zatim ukus i miris postaje ljut , peče i guši.

U Evropu je stigla u XV veku zahvaljujući španskim istraživačima. Danas je slačica među popularnijim začinima kojima se trguje u svetu, a glavni proizvođači su Indija, Kanada, Mađarska, Velika Britanija i Amerika. Poznata je po svojoj lekovitosti, niskoj kaloričnosti i visokoj hranljivoj vrednosti. NUTRITIVNA VREDNOST u 100 grama SLAČICE. Prehranom i kretanjem protiv celulita — Članci.

Stoga svaka žena koja se želi riješiti celulita, bez obzira na tjelesnu težinu, mora promijeniti svoje prehrambene navike.Neke su namirnice po svojem sastavu kao stvorene za uklanjanje ili ublažavanje i uzroka i simptoma celulita, koji nas posebno smetaju ljeti.

Izglađivanje i dijete pri tome uopće ne dolaze u obzir čak ni kod osoba s viškom kilograma, jer je dokazano da suviše niskokalorična prehrana otežava prirodni proces razgradnje masnih stanica, dapače još mu i pogoduje. Strogo izbjegavajte masnu hranu, slatkiše koji zbog jednostavnih šećera samo debljaju te slanu, prženu i konzerviranu hranu koja utječe na zaostajanje tekućine u tijelu i tako pridonosi gomilanju celulita.
