Our organic black cumin seeds are harvested every year between June and July in the Middle East as soon as the seed pods are fully ripe. The farmers first cut off the ripe plant stems and dry them to remove excess moisture. They then tap the seeds out of the dried capsules, which are then carefully cleaned and sorted. This painstaking manual work guarantees the high quality of the seeds and preserves their valuable properties. The oil is then extracted by gentle cold pressing, which is further filtered to remove impurities and achieve a high degree of purity. This is confirmed by internal and external laboratory analyses as part of strict quality controls. The entire production process follows strict environmental and social standards to ensure product quality and protect the ecosystem.

The finished organic black cumin seed oil contains mainly unsaturated fatty acids such as linoleic acid and oleic acid, supplemented by saturated palmitic acid as well as sterols, vitamin E and thymoquinone. These components are important for the metabolism and support the health of skin and hair. The essential oil it contains gives our cold-pressed organic black cumin oil its characteristic smell and taste.
