About this product
Ethiopia is a major producer of Nigella sativa, known locally as tikur azmud, and Ethiopian cooks use it in spice blends and bread. Export buyers use the seed whole on breads and pastries, in Middle Eastern and South Asian spice mixes, and as raw material for cold-pressed black seed oil.
Oil pressers check oil yield, while spice buyers focus on purity and cleanliness, so Hajuta confirms purity, treatment and packaging per lot. Some older listings called this product Ethiopian black beans; it is a spice seed, not a bean.
Hajuta confirms final specifications for each lot against the agreed pre-shipment sample.
