Sweet Sunnah sells a traditional cold-pressed black seed oil from Turkish-grown plants: 5 g of black cumin seed oil per teaspoon, about 47 servings per 8 oz bottle, cold-pressed, vegan and halal-friendly. Unusually, the panel prints a verified fatty-acid composition, 59 percent omega-6, 23 percent omega-9 and 0.5 percent omega-3. It does not print a thymoquinone amount, and the '3x more TQ' claim in the listing does not appear on the label.
How we built the SAC Product Score™ — 7.5/10
Thymoquinone Disclosure & Dose30%6.2/10
No thymoquinone amount on the panel; the '3x more TQ' claim is marketing. A teaspoon is 5 g of oil.
Extraction & Freshness20%8.6/10
Cold-pressed and printed as such; the fatty-acid composition is verified on the panel, a sign of an oil that has been analysed.
Purity & Testing20%7/10
Turkish-grown and vegan are printed; no organic seal, no GMP or third-party testing mark.
Form & Dosing Accuracy15%7.8/10
A teaspoon of strong-tasting liquid; the servings line is partly cut off on the label photo, so we derived 47 from 8 oz and 5 g.
Value15%8.8/10
About $0.59 per serving and $0.12 per gram, the cheapest quality liquid here.

Marketing claims vs. reality
Verified
“Fatty acid composition verified.”
The panel prints 59 percent omega-6, 23 percent omega-9 and 0.5 percent omega-3, which no other liquid here does in percentage form.
Verified
“Turkish grown plants, cold pressed.”
Both statements are printed on the front label.
What our test actually found
01A different kind of disclosure
Sweet Sunnah tells you the fatty-acid profile of its oil in percentages, which is genuinely useful for judging freshness and authenticity. It just does not tell you the compound the research is about.
02Cheapest liquid that is still a real cold-pressed oil
At roughly fifty-nine cents a teaspoon it undercuts every other liquid here. If you are buying black seed oil as a traditional food rather than for a thymoquinone dose, that matters.
Pros & cons, no sugar-coating
Pros
- Fatty-acid composition printed on the panel
- Cold-pressed Turkish-grown oil
- Halal-friendly and vegan
- Lowest price per teaspoon among the liquids
Cons
- No thymoquinone declared
- No organic seal or testing mark
- Servings figure derived; the panel photo cuts it off
The traditional buyer's oil, honest about its fats and silent on its thymoquinone
A good cold-pressed oil at a good price with unusual fatty-acid disclosure. It cannot rank with the declared-TQ oils because it does not join them in declaring, and its listing claim of '3x more TQ' should be ignored until it appears on the panel.
