Sesame Oil

Sesame Oil

Everyday

Sesame oil is a plant-based oil extracted from pressed sesame seeds, available in light (unroasted) and dark (toasted) varieties with distinct culinary uses. Toasted sesame oil has an intense nutty aroma and lower smoke point, making it ideal for finishing dishes, while the light variety’s high smoke point suits stir-frying and sautéing. Rich in unsaturated fats and antioxidants like sesamol, it is a staple in Asian cuisines and valued in vegan diets for adding depth to dressings, marinades, and sauces.
