Black Seed Oil

Black seed oil, also known as black cumin seed oil, nigella seed oil or kalonji oil, is a cold pressed oil from the seeds of Nigella sativa used in cooking and skincare. It is a light amber oil with an earthy, spicy character long associated with Indian, Middle Eastern and North African kitchens.

Cooking and dressings

Black seed oil is used in small amounts for flavour. Stir it through salad dressings and dips, drizzle it over flatbreads or hummus, or add it to yoghurt-based sauces. Its earthy, peppery taste is strong, so a little goes a long way.

Skincare and cosmetics

As a carrier oil it can be added to moisturisers, balms and massage blends. Dilute with another carrier oil before applying to the skin and patch test first. Avoid contact with the eyes.

DIY blends

Combine with lighter carrier oils such as almond or grapeseed to soften its aroma when formulating your own cosmetic and body-care recipes.

What is the difference between black seed oil and cumin?

Black seed oil is pressed from the seeds of Nigella sativa, the same seeds sold whole as the spice kalonji. It is not related to ground cumin, which comes from a different plant, Cuminum cyminum. The two have different flavours and are used in different recipes.

Is black seed oil the same as black cumin seed oil or nigella oil?

Yes. Black seed oil, black cumin seed oil, nigella seed oil, nigella oil and kalonji oil are all names for oil pressed from Nigella sativa. They refer to the same product.

How should black seed oil be stored and how long does it last?

Store it in a cool, dark place in a tightly sealed bottle away from heat and direct light. Kept this way it typically has a shelf life of up to two years.

What does black seed oil taste like?

It has a bold, earthy, peppery and slightly bitter taste. Because it is strong, it is usually used sparingly, drizzled or stirred into a dish at the end rather than used as a bulk cooking oil.

What sizes are available and can I buy in bulk?

Range Products stocks black seed oil in 100ml, 500ml and 1 litre sizes. For larger or wholesale quantities, contact us to discuss bulk supply.

Can black seed oil be delivered across Australia?
