Frequently Asked Questions
1. Is the oil black in color?
Answer: No. Even though it is extracted from Black Sesame Seeds, the oil itself is Golden-Amber in color. It is slightly darker and richer in hue than white sesame oil, but it is not black.
2. What is the difference between Black and White Sesame Oil?
Answer: Black Sesame Oil has a stronger, earthier flavor and a higher concentration of antioxidants and minerals (Calcium/Iron). It is preferred for medicinal (Ayurveda) and therapeutic use. White Sesame Oil is lighter, milder, and more commonly used for general cooking.
3. Is this "Toasted" Sesame Oil?
Answer: No. We supply Raw Cold Pressed Oil. Toasted oil is dark brown and has a smoky flavor (used only for flavoring). Our raw oil retains the natural seed nutrients and is suitable for both massage and cooking.
4. Can I use this for oil pulling?
Answer: Yes. Black Sesame Oil is traditionally considered the best choice for Gandusha (Oil Pulling) in Ayurveda due to its powerful antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties that support oral health.
5. What is the shelf life?
Answer: Due to high levels of natural antioxidants (Sesamol), Black Sesame Oil is very stable. It has a shelf life of 18 to 24 months when stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
