Organic Black Seed Oil Nigella Sativa

For over two thousand years the black cumin seed (Nigella sativa), a plant from the Ranunculaceae (buttercup) family, has been traditionally used by various cultures throughout the world as a food, health and general wellbeing. The ancient Egyptians knew and used the black seed and described it as a panacea. Tutankamun is even believed to have had a bottle of black seed oil in his tomb – and that would have been organic of course!

Nigella sativa originates from Western Asia and is a herb that grows about 16-24 inches in height and has white flowers when in bloom. The plant is now cultivated from the Near East to India, though the most highly regarded black seed oil comes from Egypt.

The deep black, sharp-cornered rectangular seeds (no longer than 3 mm) are the part of the plant that is used for the preparation of products.

Organic Black Seed Oil from Viridian Nutrition is of the highest quality, made exclusively from organic Egyptian black cumin seed, cold-pressed and bottled in amber glass bottles under a blanket of nitrogen to protect the oil from air and light.

Nigella sativa is an exotic addition to Viridian’s extensive essential fatty acid range. Also known as the Blessed Seed, black cumin seed is popular in the Middle and Far East. With a pleasant aroma and taste, it can be taken internally off the spoon, used as part of a salad dressing or used as a head or chest rub.
