🌱 A Traditional Oilseed, Carefully Pressed

Tazawan Nigerseed Oil (Cold Pressed) is extracted from Niger seeds, locally known as Gaddi Nuvvulu. Niger seeds (Guizotia abyssinica) are traditional oilseeds cultivated in parts of India, particularly in tribal and rain-fed agricultural regions.

These small, dark seeds are valued for their naturally occurring oil and have been used traditionally in food preparations in several regions.

Cold pressing uses mechanical pressure to extract oil while aiming to limit heat exposure during processing. This helps retain the characteristic flavour and naturally occurring components of the oil.

At Tazawan, we value traditional oilseeds, responsible sourcing and the farming communities that preserve indigenous agricultural practices.

🌾 Why Choose Tazawan Nigerseed Oil?

💛 Nutritional Highlights of Nigerseed Oil

Nigerseed oil is valued for its fatty acid composition.

• 🌿 Linoleic Acid (Omega-6): An essential polyunsaturated fatty acid that the body needs from food.

• 💛 Oleic Acid (Omega-9): A monounsaturated fatty acid naturally present in the oil.

• 🌱 Unsaturated Fats: Contains a combination of polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fatty acids.

• ⚡ Energy Source: Like other edible oils, it provides concentrated dietary energy.

Note: Fatty acid composition varies with seed variety, growing conditions and extraction method. Nigerseed oil is a food ingredient, not a medicine or treatment for any health condition.

🌾 Understanding Cold-Pressed Extraction

Cold pressing is a mechanical method of extracting oil from seeds without intensive heating during the extraction process.

The process aims to retain the natural character of the seed, including its characteristic flavour and some naturally occurring minor compounds.

The final oil's colour, aroma and composition can vary depending on the seed quality, pressing equipment, filtration and storage.
