Sesame Oil comes from the pressed seeds of the sesame plant. It is used as a primary cooking oil as well as a flavor enhancer in combination with other cooking oils. India has cultivated and exported sesame oil for thousands of years, and along with many other Asian countries, use it as a cooking oil. Sesame oil has a high proportion of healthy omega-6 fatty acids and is loaded with antioxidants like vitamin E. It also contains magnesium, iron, zinc, and vitamin B6. Sesame oil can be used for massage therapy and is an essential part of India's ayurvedic massage tradition. It is also one of the few oils recommended for oil pulling. Oil pulling is an Indian practice that involves swishing the oil in the mouth for 15 to 20 minutes. Our virgin sesame seed oil is unrefined and certified organic.
