Sesame oil, derived from sesame seeds, is a versatile and widely used cooking oil with a rich history in various cuisines and traditional medicine.
Sesame oil is a golden to dark amber-colored oil with a distinct nutty aroma and a rich, robust flavor. It is extracted from the seeds of the sesame plant (Sesamum indicum) through a process of pressing or crushing the seeds, yielding a nutrient-rich oil that has been a staple in Asian, Middle Eastern, and African cuisines for centuries.
