Buy black cumin oil – what to consider?
When buying black cumin seed oil, it is important to pay attention to good quality. The plants of the product should be organic and from certified producers. You should also make sure that the black cumin seed oil is cold pressed and unfiltered.
Cold pressing does not involve high temperatures that could affect the quality the oil. Thus all important nutrients and vitamins are preserved.
Black cumin seed oil can be purchased both filtered and unfiltered. The unfiltered version is often referred to as pure black cumin oil. The unfiltered product contains a very high amount of healthy plant substances. With the filtered version, however, some of these healthy substances are lost.
However, the unfiltered version often has a more tart and spicy taste compared to the filtered version. Therefore you have to choose between a more pleasant taste and an oil with a larger amount of healthy plant substances. For cosmetic purposes the decision is of course easy, the taste is irrelevant here.
Also the origin of the black cumin seed oil plays a large role. Here the sort “Kara Siva” from Egypt or Syria is considered as particularly high-quality. Accordingly, you have to dig a little deeper into your pockets.
