A Botanical Legacy
For over three millennia, Black Cumin Seed has been celebrated as the “seed of blessing” (Habbatul barakah), prized by ancient Egyptians, Greeks, and Arabic cultures alike. Its supercritical extraction concentrates a rich lipid matrix of essential fatty acids, including 45–65% linoleic acid and 1% rare eicosadienoic acid, along with potent compounds such as thymoquinone, cymene, and thujene.
“The humble, yet immensely powerful seeds of the annual flowering plant, Nigella sativa… promising the formation of future worlds within itself, is the very emblem of life's immense and immortal power.”
— Sayer Ji, GreenMedinfo
