Botanical Information:

The Kalonji plant is a small herb-like plant that produces light blue or white flowers. After flowering, the plant forms small black seeds, and oil is extracted from these seeds. The botanical name of the plant is Nigella sativa, and it is mainly found in parts of Asia, the Middle East, and some European regions. The seeds have a slightly spicy aroma and a mildly bitter and sharp taste. These characteristics are also present in the oil extracted from them. For many years, the seeds of this plant have been used in traditional practices. Because of this, the plant is considered important in natural and herbal products.

Extraction Method:

Kalonji oil is usually extracted from the seeds using the cold-press method. In this process, the seeds are pressed with the help of machines to obtain the oil. Since this method does not involve high temperatures, the natural properties of the oil remain preserved. Cold-pressed oil is generally considered more natural and rich in nutrients. In some cases, steam distillation is also used to obtain essential oil. In this method, steam is used to extract aromatic compounds from the seeds. At Vardhman Nutrition Co., modern equipment and controlled processes are used to ensure that the oil produced is pure and of high quality.

These storage facilities are pesticide-free and well maintained to preserve the quality of the seeds. During storage, the seeds are protected from moisture, dust, and other contaminants so that fresh and high-quality raw materials are available for production.

Kalonji oil is light in texture and is easily absorbed by the skin. It also contains antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, which is why it is used in many health and skincare products. Due to its natural qualities, the oil has become a common ingredient in various herbal products. However, it is always recommended to consult an expert before using it for specific health purposes.
