Who are we
My name is Barbara Amina Ramadna. I am the founder and owner of the Green Plains Oil Factory
The girl who has become a woman who cannot breathe
When I was a child, I had an allergic reaction. It was the worst spring season. My eyes were so puffy that sometimes I couldn’t see well. Cats were also allergic to me – and I loved cats, so it was a problem.
But like many kids, I thought I was going to grow up and it’s gone.
still
I grew up. She studied electrical engineering and obtained a master’s degree in communications engineering. She has worked for over ten years as maintenance contracting manager for a large computer company in Jordan. I became an adult. professional. I have responsibilities.
And I got worse
What was borne in childhood became stressful in adulthood. Spring was not just an uncomfortable season – it was exhausted. My eyes, my breath, my energy. Everything was affected
Then one day, my mom brought me a bottle of Nigella sativa oil.
She did not make a large letter. She just gave it to me, the way moms do when they notice something you didn’t notice. Maybe she saw that I was suffering. Maybe I remembered something from all those past years and thought it was worth trying again.
I tried it
And something has changed
Allergy did not disappear overnight. But she calmed down. Spring came, and I was able to work. I managed to breathe. I managed to be around the cats again – and I love cats, so it was important.
When the bottle is over, I thought I need more of this.
So I went looking for another bottle.
The engineer who never planned to make the oil
That search – standing in a herbal shop in Amman, confused between all these different oils, I don’t know what’s real – this research is what started everything
There were many types. Many colors. Dark oils, light oils, heavy oils, light oils. Which one was real? Which one will really work? The seller had answers, but how can I trust him?
I left the shop empty-handed. But I also left with a question that will change my life: Why is it so hard to find pure pill oil?
I am an engineer. When I don’t know anything
I learned what the real Nigella sativa oil should look like. How it should smell. How it should be tasted. I learned about the afternoon on the cold, and why the heat was destroyed, I didn’t buy the oil for it
The more I learned, the more frustrated I am. The market was full of oils that are not real. People used to buy it, trust it, and never know the difference.
I spent ten years in the computer industry. I knew how to deal with people. I knew the Jordanian market. And I thought: I can do it myself. I can make the oil I could not find.
I did
Start: 2004
I started with my own savings. A small amount. It is enough for only one machine
I put it in my parents’ house. I would go there, squeeze the seeds, and watch the oil flow. It was slow. He was young. But it was real
I was getting married when I started this. My children are not yet born. But soon, they will come. They will grow up in this project
I remember bringing my daughter with me to work when she was very young. She slept in her coat next to me as I worked at the piston. She didn’t know then, but she was already part of something bigger.
slow growth, true growth
From my parents’ house, I opened a small shop. Then more space. Then one employee. Then more
Today, we are a team of 14 people. We have an office and warehouse in Ras Al Khaimah, UAE, with an official license and all certificates of interest. We have more than a hundred products
But the heart is the same as it was in 2004: pure and real products from nature
what do we do
We make:
Cold pressed oils – From Nigella sativa, Pumpkin, Jojoba, and more
Steam distilled oils and water Let’s extract the essence of herbs
Seed Paste Like tahini and nigella paste
Dead Sea Products Mineral-rich salts from the lowest point on Earth
herbal extracts For food and health
natural soap – Made in the old way
gluten free flour Almond, coconut, and others
Recently, we have provided a range of nutritional supplements. But not the usual gelatin capsules. Our capsules are vegan, made of cellulose. We fill it with our high quality oils: Nigella sativa oil capsules, and pumpkin seed oil capsules. No animals, no bargaining
Our motto (which we really live with)
We don’t use any kind of solvent, chemicals, or even preservatives! All seeds and herbs are free of genetic modification
These are not marketing words. These are the rules you set on the first day, and they never changed.
Who trusts us?
Our products are available in major malls, health shops, herbal stores, and pharmacies across Jordan and abroad.
We supply luxury hotel chains – places that can choose any resource, but they choose us
We supply high quality restaurants – chefs understand that pure oil makes the difference
We supply raw materials to manufacturers that need pure, trusted ingredients.
We export. Twenty years later, our oil arrives at customers in the United States, UK, Canada, Eastern Europe, and throughout the Middle East. The same oil that I started making in my parents’ house, now at tables that are thousands of miles away.
Farmers who make this possible
I believe in buying directly from the people who cultivate
We work with farmers in Jordan – in villages like Kafr Som and Ajloun. Most of them are family farms. They sow pomegranate seeds, bitter almonds, atlantic cumin seeds, jojoba nuts, and various herbs.
I pay them more than the market price, even when it costs me more. Because this is not just a transaction. This is a relationship that lasted for years. For decades, for some
When you buy from us, you support them too
We protect the earth
A long time ago, before it became a fashion, we thought about waste.
We recycle our secondary products and use them in other projects. We use resources efficiently. Our site is green. Not because that looks good on the site, but because it’s the only logical way for me.
The guide lives in my house
This part still amazes me, after all these years:
I now have ten cats at home. And a water turtle. No sensitivity. Never
The oil didn’t help me temporarily. I changed something inside of me. And what started as a woman looking for comfort became a job that gives the same comfort to others
personal promise
I started this because I couldn’t find pure oil. Twenty years later, I still check every batch. I still care about every bottle. I still remember that feeling when I stood in that shop, confused and frustrated, I want something real.
If you have questions about our oil – if you’re wondering if it’s pure, is it suitable for you, can you trust it – ask me. I reply to my messages myself. Look at the pictures that people send me to their oils and tell them frankly what I see
This is not a marketing strategy. This is just who I am
