Cold pressed sesame oil is extracted from the tiny seeds of sesamum indicum. This seed contains abundant proteins and Vitamin B while retaining essential fatty acids and antioxidants like Vitamin E. Sesame oil provides an exciting range of health benefits. It contains abundant heart-healthy fats, helps combat inflammation, and protects skin from the Sun.  

However, cold pressed sesame oil has a low smoking point, which is unsuitable for cooking or deep frying. It is ideally used in uncooked sauces, dressings, and marinades. It has a distinctive nutty flavor and is an essential oil for Asian and Middle Eastern cuisines.
