Al-Ard - Black Seed Oil - Palestine

Al-Ard cold-pressed Black Seed Oil is a natural oil extracted from the Nigella sativa flowering plant. Nigella seeds are also know as black cumin. It is traditionally known in the Muslim communities as “The Seed of Blessing”. It is considered as one of the healthiest oils, boosting the immune system, and helping you stay healthy. 

1. Black seed oil can be eaten and preferably it should be eaten raw. Most people find it to be slightly bitter and a bit hot. Others liken it to the flavor of cumin or oregano. You consume it raw one teaspoon at a time and avoid heating it to preserve the nutrients. Due to its strong flavour, you may want to mix the oil with honey or lemon juice. You can also mix it with kefir or yogurt. The oil can also be drizzled on salads like dressings, or mixed into teas, smoothies and coffee (although keep in mind the caveats about its pungent taste). 

2. Black seed oil can also be used topically by massaging it onto your skin.
