Seed

Nigella Sativa is an annual with pale blue to purple flowers and thin, divided leaves, that is commonly called Black Seed, Black Cumin Seed, and Black Caraway Seed. Nigella is a member of the Ranunculaceae or Buttercup family along with goldenseal, black cohosh, and yellowroot.

Black Seed grows wild in parts of northern Africa and the Middle East. The seeds, perhaps due to their antioxidant content, maintain viability even in extreme temperatures and sun exposure.

The Black Seed Gaia Herbs® uses is grown by cooperatives of farmers within traditional Kibbutz communities, spanning six farms and more than 220 acres. These farms utilize regenerative agricultural practices, including crop rotation, to help renew soil health, improve fertility, and support long-term sustainability.

Their environmental commitment extends beyond the field through initiatives such as recycling manufacturing waste, creating pollinator habitats, implementing water conservation measures, and using solar-generated electricity.

2/2

To ensure consistent quality, our supplier has developed a breeding program that carefully selects seed varieties with reliable and desirable characteristics.

This program focuses on identifying plants with naturally-consistent thymoquinone (TQ) levels, enabling the production of high-quality cold-pressed Black Seed oil standardized to 2.5% TQ. The result is a product that delivers both exceptional quality and consistency while maintaining a commitment to sustainable farming practices.
