Black Seed Carrier Oil (Organic) is a cold-pressed, food-grade oil derived from the seeds of Nigella sativa L.. With a bold, earthy flavor profile and deep amber color, this virgin, unrefined oil is ideal for culinary and dietary supplement applications seeking a clean-label, plant-based ingredient.
Extracted without solvents or heat, it retains its natural aroma, flavor, and nutrient profile, making it highly sought-after in the natural foods sector. This oil is primarily used by manufacturers of functional foods, nutraceuticals, and culinary blends due to its characteristic taste and fatty acid composition.
It is also popular in direct-to-consumer bottled oil lines under private label. While its presence in personal care remains notable, the majority of bulk volume supports dietary and internal-use product development.
Offered in HBNO bulk and a range of packaging sizes, organic black cumin seed oil is an ideal supply choice for formulators, bottlers, co-packers, supplement companies, and gourmet food brands.
