Niger Seed, also known as Niger, Nyjer, or Ramtil, is a small black oilseed cultivated primarily in Ethiopia, India, and some parts of Africa and Southeast Asia.
It is valued for its high oil content, nutritional benefits, and bird feed applications. Despite its small size, niger seed is rich in essential fatty acids and protein.

Light and Digestible : Suitable for both human and animal consumption
Small, Glossy Black Seeds : Easy to handle and store
Edible Oil : Niger seed is pressed to produce light, nutritious cooking oil, used in traditional cuisines in parts of Africa and India.
Bird Feed : Highly popular as a premium birdseed, especially for finches, canaries, and wild birds in Europe and the USA
