Woodpressed Black Sesame Oil

Product Details

Made from 100% premium quality sesame seeds.

The Sesame Oil is extracted from premium quality sesame which are harvested manually and sun-dried properly to retain its aroma, taste and color. Oil is extracted using a wooden mortar and pestel machine applying wooden pressure. The temperature is kept below 50 degrees C and RPM less than 10 to avoid any heat generation. Whatever minimal heat is generated, is absorbed by the wooden pestle and not transferred to the oil. This helps the oil to retain its natural flavor, aroma, and nutritional profile. The oil is allowed to stand for two days to let the sediments settle down.

The obtained oil is thick, opaque, aromatic and as natural as it can be. It is free from any chemical or heat treatment or any preservatives, unlike refined oils.

Usage

1. Cooking and Sautéing

Woodpressed sesame oil is excellent for cooking due to its medium smoke point and rich, nutty flavor. Use it for stir-frying vegetables, sautéing meats, or adding a finishing touch to dishes. Its robust flavor enhances Asian cuisine and various other dishes. Drizzle a small amount over cooked dishes or mix it with other oils for a unique taste.

Incorporate woodpressed sesame oil into salad dressings to add a deep, nutty flavor. Mix it with ingredients like soy sauce, vinegar, and honey to create a delicious and nutritious dressing. It can also be combined with other oils for a balanced taste. Use 1-2 tablespoons of sesame oil in your salad dressing recipe for a flavorful twist.

3. Skin Care

Apply woodpressed sesame oil directly to your skin to benefit from its moisturizing and nourishing properties. Its high vitamin E content helps to hydrate and protect the skin from dryness and environmental damage. Massage a few drops of sesame oil into your skin after bathing or as part of your daily skincare routine.

4. Hair Care

Use woodpressed sesame oil as a conditioning treatment for your hair. Massage the oil into your scalp and hair, leave it on for at least 30 minutes, or overnight for deeper conditioning, and then wash it out. This can help improve hair texture, reduce dryness, and add shine. For a relaxing treatment, warm the oil slightly before application to enhance absorption and effectiveness.

5. Oil Pulling

Incorporate sesame oil into your oral hygiene routine through oil pulling. Swish a tablespoon of sesame oil around your mouth for 15-20 minutes to help remove bacteria, improve gum health, and freshen breath. Perform oil pulling in the morning before eating or drinking to maximize its benefits.
