Sesame Oil
Sesame oil, often called the “Queen of Oilseeds,” is extracted from pressed sesame seeds and valued for its rich nutritional profile and versatile uses. With a distinctive nutty flavor and golden hue, sesame oil is widely used in Asian, Middle Eastern, and Mediterranean cuisines, both as a cooking oil and a finishing touch to enhance flavor.
Beyond the kitchen, sesame oil has a long history in traditional medicine and cosmetics. Rich in antioxidants, vitamins, and healthy fats, it is believed to support heart health, reduce inflammation, and promote skin and hair nourishment. Whether used for culinary, medicinal, or cosmetic purposes, sesame oil remains one of the most treasured oils worldwide.
