Filtered black seed oil - 250 ml

Filtered black seed oil for pure enjoyment without worrying about cholesterol

Black seed oil from Unimedica is filtered and, with 23.1% monounsaturated and 55.6% polyunsaturated fatty acids, very rich in the fatty acids that are beneficial to our bodies. Polyunsaturated fatty acids are involved in many bodily functions. Among other things, they help dissolve important nutrients such as fat‑soluble vitamins and contribute to the maintenance of normal blood cholesterol levels when they replace saturated fatty acids in the diet.*

Cold‑pressed black seed oil full of unsaturated fatty acids

Black seed oil from Unimedica is made from high‑quality Egyptian black cumin seeds (Nigella sativa). The sun‑ripened seeds are gently cold‑pressed in a German oil mill using low pressure according to traditional Egyptian methods. Cold pressing preserves the constituents and the high quality of the oil. In addition, this oil is from the first pressing, meaning it has a particularly high proportion of all the valuable substances that characterise this natural oil.

This black seed oil contains no preservatives or other unwanted additives. As the oil is filtered after pressing, it is clear and pure.

Thymoquinone content in black seed oil: a sign of quality

Unimedica’s black seed oil is characterised by a high thymoquinone content, ranging from 380 mg to 700 mg per 100 ml. Thymoquinone is an important component of the oil and is responsible for many of its positive properties. These natural variations in content arise from different growing conditions or the time of harvest.

Also suitable for the kitchen

Black seed oil is suitable for refining a variety of dishes, including salads, stews, soups, dips and sauces. It is particularly popular in Middle Eastern and North African cuisine. To preserve the constituents, it is advisable to add the oil towards the end of cooking. The amount used depends on personal taste. Naturally, black seed oil can also be taken in its pure form.

What is Egyptian black seed?

Black seed (Nigella sativa) belongs to the buttercup family (Ranunculaceae). Originally from the Orient, black seed is known as a traditional medicinal plant. It thrives particularly well in the dry heat of Egypt, which concentrates the nutrients in its fruits and makes the oil especially rich.

Health effects*
