This is warm, nutty, and made from white sesame seeds grown in Indian soil.
We source our sesame from small farms in Rajasthan, where the crop is grown with care as part of a traditional rotation with millets and pulses. Once harvested, the seeds are cleaned, sun-dried, and pressed without any heat, or no chemicals.
This slow process helps the oil keep its natural flavour, light golden colour, and subtle sesame aroma. The taste is nutty but not overpowering; it lifts the dish without taking over. It has long been used in Indian kitchens and Ayurvedic routines prized for its warming nature, balanced fats, and digestibility.
It shines in stir-fries, tadkas, and pickles or try it raw over steamed rice, in homemade dressings, or even mixed with jaggery and dry ginger for a simple winter remedy.
Naturally rich in antioxidants, and healthy fats, it's a versatile oil that’s as nourishing as it is flavourful.
When using sesame oil in your culinary ventures, remember its distinct flavor. For delicate dishes, opt for light sesame oil with its mild taste and higher smoke point, suitable for stir-frying and sautéing. Reserve dark sesame oil for finishing touches and drizzles, enhancing the depth of Asian-inspired dishes, dressings, and marinades. Its nutty essence can enhance salads and noodles.
Q. Can I use it for deep frying?
