Black cumin, or Ryytineito, is a flowering spice plant whose aromatic black seeds are full of valuable oil. Black cumin contains no less than 100 bioactive substances. Black cumin oil, or Black Seed Oil, contains, among other things, linoleic acid (omega-6) and a special essential oil called thymoquinone, which is considered to be behind the health-supporting effects of black cumin. The seeds also contain e.g. myristic, palmitic, palmitoleic, stearic and oleic acids, B group vitamins, calcium, iron, copper, zinc and phosphorus.
