About this collection

Black seed oil is pressed from the seeds of Nigella sativa, also called black cumin. Choose the USDA Organic cold-pressed liquid, or softgels that contain cold-pressed black seed oil, above, then read on for how the forms compare and how to use and store it.

Black seed oil: liquid vs softgels, explained

Black seed oil comes from the small black seeds of Nigella sativa, a flowering plant grown in Eastern Europe, the Middle East and Asia. The seeds, also called black cumin, have been used for thousands of years as a seasoning, including as one of the aromatic spices in curry powder. The black cumin seed for our oil is sourced from farmers in Turkey.

Cold-pressed and unrefined. Our liquid black seed oil is USDA Organic, cold-pressed, unrefined, extra virgin and undiluted, with no hexane. The label marks a minimum of 2% thymoquinone (TQ), a compound naturally found in the oil. It comes in 4 oz, 8 oz and 16 oz amber glass bottles, and is non-GMO, vegan and gluten-free.

Liquid or softgels? The liquid lets you choose your own teaspoon and use the oil in food. Softgels have no taste and a fixed serving. Our 1000 mg softgels hold 1,000 mg of organic cold-pressed oil per serving of 2, with 120 softgels per bottle (about 60 servings). Our 2000 mg softgels hold 2,000 mg per serving of 2, with a label-marked minimum of 2% TQ, in 60-count (about 30 servings) and 180-count (about 90 servings) bottles. Both softgel shells are made with gelatin, so the liquid is the vegan choice.

How to use it. Black seed oil has a strong, peppery, slightly bitter taste that some people compare to cumin or oregano. To soften it, stir 1 tsp of oil into 1 tsp of raw honey, take it with lemon, or blend it into a cold smoothie. Don't cook or fry with it; heat can affect the oil, so add it to food after cooking.

How to store it. Keep the bottle tightly closed in a cool, dark, dry place. The amber glass helps keep light out. Refrigeration is optional after opening.
