A date palm seed-based lost circulation material (LCM) is provided. A date palm seed LCM may be manufactured by drying date palm seeds and grinding the dried date palm seeds to create a plurality of particles. The particles may have sizes less than 4 mm, from 1 mm to 2 mm, or from 2 mm to 4 mm. The date palm seed LCM may have a volumetric swelling greater than an LCM formed from tree nuts and may have a volumetric swelling of at least 0.3 cubic centimeters per gram. The date palm seed LCM may have a D50 shift factor less than an LCM formed from calcium carbonate and may have a D50 shift factor of at least 0.38%. The date palm seed LCM may have a stability index of at least 0.95. Methods of lost circulation control and manufacture of a date palm seed LCM are also provided.
