THREE BLACK SEEDS, ONLY ONE IS THE TRUE NIGELLA

Nigella is not what they sell you.

This is one of the most common confusions in the global vegetable oil market. Three very different plants are sold under the same name, “black seed”, “black seed”, “nigella”, even though their botanical, chemical and therapeutic profiles have practically nothing in common.

Real nigella vs common substitutes

  • Nigella of Damascus · Folk Oils

    Species Nigella sativa L. · Ranunculaceae
    Thymoquinone Present, exclusive marker
    Status Real nigella

  • Black cumin (often confused)

    Species Bunium persicum / Carum carvi · Apiaceae
    Thymoquinone Absent
    Status Aromatic spice, not Nigella

  • Black sesame (often confused)

    Species Sesamum indicum var. black
    Thymoquinone Absent
    Status Lipid profile = white sesame

“In the black seed is a cure for all evil except death. », Hadith Sahih Bukhari n°5688 · Sahih Muslim n°2215. This text refers to Nigella sativa and to it alone.

THE ACTIVE MARKER OF NIGELLA SATIVA

Thymoquinone: what real nigella contains

Thymoquinone (TQ) is the main bioactive compound in Nigella sativa. Absent from black cumin, absent from black sesame, exclusive chemical marker.

We don't sell promises. We deliver an oil whose thymoquinone is measured, certified and traceable to the Gharb field.
