Sesame Seed Oil

Sesame oil is an edible vegetable oil derived from sesame (Sesamum indicum) seeds and is one of the earliest known crop-based oils.

Light sesame oil is made from raw sesame seeds. It has an earthy, nutty flavor and a high smoke point that makes it suitable for deep-frying.

Toasted sesame oil is made from roasted sesame seeds. It’s thicker in consistency, darker in color, and has a more pronounced flavor. Toasted sesame oil has a lower smoke point than light sesame oil and is not suitable for deep-frying, but can be used for stir-frying and raw applications such as salad dressings.
