Description

Niger (scientifically known as Guizotia abyssinica) is an oilseed crop that originated (despite its name) comes from the Highlands of Ethiopia. It’s narrow , long and vaguely resembles black rice. It was probably domesticated before 3000 BC in the highlands of Ethiopia, where it is still cultivated as an oilseed crop. A little known fact is that Niger Seeds actually have shells, so if you see what looks like a seed on the ground, it's not usually the birds throwing them away. It is also known as Ramtil, Inga seed, Niger, Niger-seed, blackseed, noog/nug, nyger, nyjer, Niger-seed oil and ramtil oil.
