Egyptian Black Seeds Nigella Sativa Bulk Export

Egyptian black seeds (Nigella sativa), known locally as Habbatus Sauda, are among the most commercially versatile herb seeds in global trade. Egyptian black seeds are recognized for their high oxidative stability — meaning the oil extracted from them maintains potency and shelf life longer than many competing origins — making them a preferred raw material for supplement manufacturers and cold-press oil producers.
The primary active compound is thymoquinone (TQ), present at a minimum of 0.8% w/w in Egyptian grades. Buyers targeting pharmaceutical and supplement applications typically specify minimum TQ levels in their purchase contracts and require batch-specific COA from accredited laboratories.
Primary applications include cold-pressed black seed oil production for the supplement and wellness market, capsule and softgel manufacturing, culinary spice use in Middle Eastern and South Asian food production, and natural cosmetic formulations for skin and hair care.
Processing includes sun-drying, multi-stage mechanical cleaning, aspiration to remove foreign matter, and Sortex optical sorting to achieve 99%+ purity. Packed in 25kg polypropylene bags or double-layer kraft sacks.
COA parameters available on request: moisture content (max 8%), purity (min 99%), foreign matter (max 0.5%), thymoquinone content, oil yield percentage, microbial counts, heavy metals panel, and EU MRL pesticide residue screening.
Primary export markets: United States, Canada, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Germany, and Southeast Asia. Buyers include pharmaceutical labs, wellness brands, spice importers, and supplement manufacturers. Lead time 3 to 4 weeks after deposit. Free sample available before bulk order.
