# Cold-pressed black seed oil

কালোজিরা তেল

Safura cold-pressed black seed oil is pressed from kalojira (Nigella sativa) seed without added heat or chemical solvents, then left to settle, filtered and bottled. Because it is not refined, it has a strong, peppery and slightly bitter taste, and is used raw rather than for cooking at high heat.

## Questions about cold-pressed black seed oil

### What is black seed?

Black seed is the small black seed of the Nigella sativa plant, known in Bangladesh as kalojira. It is widely used whole as a spice.

### Can I cook with black seed oil?

It is best used raw or added at the end of cooking. High heat spoils its flavour.

### Why does it taste bitter?

A peppery, slightly bitter taste is natural for unrefined black seed oil.

### How should I store it once opened?

Keep the bottle tightly closed in a cool, dark place, away from the stove and direct sunlight. Unrefined oil tastes best when it is used within a few months of opening.
