Cold & Wood Pressed Black Seed Oil 100ml

Wood-pressed black seed oil (Nigella sativa) for the kitchen and for hair and skin routines.

Our Black Seed Oil is extracted by traditional wood pressing, without heat, from Nigella sativa (kalonji) seeds, and it's edible. It has a bold, peppery, slightly bitter taste and a strong herbal aroma, and it has centuries of traditional use in South Asian and Middle Eastern kitchens. Free from artificial additives.
