Toasted Sesame Oil

Toasted Sesame Oil is a fragrant oil pressed from sesame seeds and widely used across East and South Asian cuisines for cooking and finishing dishes; toasted varieties are prized for their deep, nutty aroma. It is almost entirely fat, providing 100g of fat per 100g, and is valued for its high proportion of unsaturated fats as well as small amounts of vitamin K and copper. While very calorie-dense and not a source of protein or fiber, sesame oil — especially the toasted kind — contributes beneficial monounsaturated fats and contains antioxidant compounds (polyphenols) that can add flavour and potential protective effects when used in moderation.
