Description
Organic sesame seeds are expeller pressed to create delicious,
unrefined oil. Used for centuries in Asian cultures, this golden
oil adds a mild sesame flavor to any dish.
Unrefined Sesame Oil contains antioxidants, including sesamol and
sesamin, and vitamin E, and is high in omega 6 and 9.
Expeller pressing is a mechanical method for extracting oil. The
seed is squeezed under high pressure in a single step. Unrefined
oils are filtered only lightly to remove large particles. The
flavor, color and fragrance of unrefined oils are more pronounced
than in refined oils; they are more nutritious and have a shorter
storage life than refined.
Unrefined Sesame Oil is used for medium heat cooking with a smoke
point of 320-356°. Ideal for salad dressing, sauces, marinades,
sauting, and in baking; or pour over steamed vegetables, fish,
grains, potatoes, or popcorn. Serve with dark green leafy
vegetables to help with absorption of vitamins and minerals. Also
great as a massage oil!
