Black Cumin Seeds (Nigella)
Nigella sativa L.
Egyptian Nigella sativa (Black Seed / Habbat al-Barakah) is globally regarded as the gold standard for cold-press black cumin oil due to its superior concentration of bioactive thymoquinone and omega fatty acids. Our seeds are intensely black, angular, and thoroughly sorted through magnetic and optical cleaners.
Industrial Applications:
Cold-press virgin Nigella seed oil extraction, artisanal European bread toppings (Turkish flatbread / Pide), nutraceutical capsules, spice rubs.
