Description

Sesame oil is a type of vegetable oil derived from sesame seeds. It has been used for centuries in various cuisines and cultures around the world. There are two main types of sesame oil: toasted (or dark) sesame oil and light sesame oil. Here’s a bit more information about each type.

This type of sesame oil is made from roasted sesame seeds, which gives it a rich, deep flavor and dark color. It’s commonly used as a flavoring agent rather than a cooking oil due to its intense taste. Toasted sesame oil is often added to dishes after they’re cooked to enhance their flavor. It’s a key ingredient in many Asian cuisines, particularly in Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and Southeast Asian dishes.
