Woodpressed White 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.

Health Benefits

1. Promotes Heart Health

Sesame oil is rich in healthy fats, including monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, which play a crucial role in heart health. These fats help lower LDL (bad) cholesterol levels and boost HDL (good) cholesterol, reducing the risk of heart disease and improving overall cardiovascular function.

2. Provides Antioxidant Protection

Sesame oil is a source of potent antioxidants like sesamol and sesamin. These compounds combat oxidative stress by neutralizing free radicals in the body, which helps protect cells from damage and reduces the risk of chronic diseases associated with oxidative damage.

3. Exhibits Anti-Inflammatory Effects

The anti-inflammatory compounds found in sesame oil can help reduce inflammation throughout the body. Regular use may alleviate symptoms of inflammatory conditions, such as arthritis, and support overall health by minimizing inflammation-related issues.

4. Supports Bone Health

Sesame oil is a good source of calcium and other essential minerals that contribute to bone health. Adequate intake of these nutrients is vital for maintaining strong bones and preventing conditions such as osteoporosis.

5. Enhances Skin Health

Rich in Vitamin E, sesame oil provides excellent protection for the skin. Its antioxidant properties help shield the skin from damage caused by UV rays and environmental pollutants, while also promoting hydration and reducing signs of aging.

6. Promotes Hair Health

Sesame oil is widely used in hair care due to its moisturizing and nourishing properties. It helps strengthen hair, improve shine, and maintain overall health, making it an effective treatment for dry or damaged hair.

7. Boosts Oral Health

Sesame oil has natural antibacterial properties that can help reduce harmful bacteria in the mouth. Regular use, such as in oil pulling, can promote better oral hygiene, freshen breath, and contribute to overall oral health.

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.

2. Salad Dressings

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.

6. Baby Care

Use woodpressed sesame oil as a gentle massage oil for your baby’s delicate skin. Warm a small amount of oil between your hands and gently massage it into your baby's skin to soothe and moisturize. Test a small amount on your baby’s skin first to ensure there are no adverse reactions.
