What it is

Organic toasted sesame oil is a cooking oil made from sesame seeds that have been toasted before being pressed. Toasting the seeds deepens their flavor and aroma, giving the oil a rich, nutty taste. It is commonly used in cooking, especially in Asian cuisines.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add toasted sesame oil primarily for its strong, distinct flavor and aroma, which enhances dishes. It is frequently found in salad dressings, marinades, stir-fries, and as a finishing oil for soups and noodles. Its potent taste means it is often used in smaller quantities for flavoring rather than as a primary cooking fat.

Health notes

Toasted sesame oil is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of healthy fats, including monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated sesame oil, and EFSA has also assessed its safety. At typical dietary intakes, it is not associated with adverse health effects.

Allergen info

Sesame is one of the 9 major food allergens recognized by the FDA. Therefore, toasted sesame oil is considered a major allergen.
