Types of Sesame Oil

There are two primary types of sesame oil: light sesame oil and dark sesame oil.

Light Sesame Oil: Made from raw sesame seeds, this oil has a high smoke point (around 410°F or 210°C), making it ideal for frying and sautéing. Its mild flavor complements various dishes without overpowering them. Use it as a base for stir-fries or in marinades for a light, nutty taste.

Dark Sesame Oil: Made from toasted sesame seeds, this oil boasts a robust, rich flavor and is often used as a finishing oil or in salad dressings. With its deep amber color, dark sesame oil adds an inviting touch to any dish. A few drops can transform a simple bowl of noodles or vegetables into a gourmet experience.
