Description

Sesame oil is extracted from sesame seeds, which is also being used more commonly nowadays.
Since more than half of a sesame seed is composed of oil, sesame seeds are also a good source of healthy monounsaturated fat. The Black sesame seeds have a stronger flavour than the white or hulled version. Some people believe that its best to have the seed whole, with its hull intact.

It is also commonly called as Kala Til seed in India.

Key benefits of sesame seeds:

• Packed with antioxidants and plant compounds like sesamin and sesamol — supporting oxidative-stress defense and healthy aging.
• May support healthy blood pressure and lipid levels, contributing to heart wellness.
• Excellent source of minerals like calcium, magnesium, iron and zinc — supporting bone health, immunity, skin and hair.

How to store:

• Use an airtight container or resealable bag to keep the seeds fresh and aromatic.
• Store in a cool, dark, dry area away from direct light and moisture.
• In humid climates, refrigeration can help maintain quality and prevent the oils from going stale.
• Reseal after opening and avoid using wet utensils.
