What Is Black Seed Oil?
Black seed oil comes from the seeds of Nigella sativa, a flowering plant traditionally grown in parts of Western Asia, the Middle East and North Africa.
It is also commonly referred to as black cumin seed oil, although it should not be confused with ordinary cumin oil.
Black seed has featured in traditional cultures for more than 3,000 years, particularly in Egyptian food and beauty practices.
The oil has a distinctive peppery, aromatic flavour and contains naturally occurring fatty acids and other plant compounds.
Why Choose Viridian Organic Black Seed Oil?
100% Pure Egyptian Black Seed Oil
Viridian sources its black seeds from certified organic Egyptian cultivation.
The finished product contains only black seed oil, without added carrier oils, flavourings or artificial ingredients.
First Cold-Pressed Extraction
The oil is extracted using a cold-pressing process rather than chemical solvents.
This method is designed to preserve the oil’s naturally occurring components.
Naturally Occurring Omega-6 and Omega-9

These fatty acids form part of the oil’s natural nutritional composition.
Carefully Protected Freshness
Viridian packages its oil in amber glass bottles and uses nitrogen sealing to reduce exposure to oxygen during bottling.
This helps protect the quality of the oil.
