12 Incredible Health Benefits of Sesame Oil
Sesame seeds add so much flavour to any food item they are paired with. Sesame oil on the other hand comes with a distinct nutty flavor and is considered healthy in many cuisines, particularly in Asian cuisine. Watch till the end to find out if it is worth the praise.
Sesame oil is an edible oil extracted from sesame or Sesamum indicum seeds, which are small, flat, and oval seeds that come from the flowering sesame plant.
Some varieties of sesame oil, particularly those used in Asian cuisine, are made from roasted sesame seeds. Roasting enhances the flavour and aroma of the oil. The seeds can be dry-roasted or toasted in oil. The cleaned and or sometimes roasted sesame seeds are pressed to extract the oil. If you have watched this video series of oil benefits, then you already know that there are two types of pressing done for oil extraction. Cold pressing and hot pressing. Cold-pressing helps retain more of the oil's natural flavour and nutritional properties while in hot-pressing the heat can potentially affect the flavor and nutritional content. The oil is then filtered and undergoes a settling process to remove any remaining sediments. After settling, the oil is usually stored in dark bottles or containers to protect it from light, which can cause the oil to become rancid.
After this long process, Sesame oil comes to market with numerous health benefits.
