Cold-pressed white and black sesame oils retain their natural antioxidants, vitamins (like E and B), and minerals (such as copper and manganese). These nutrients contribute to overall health and well-being.
White sesame oil has a mild and neutral flavor, making it versatile for various culinary applications. Black sesame oil, on the other hand, has a stronger, nuttier taste that adds a distinctive flavor to dishes.
Both oils have a characteristic aroma, with black sesame oil having a more intense and robust fragrance due to the presence of compounds like sesamol.
White sesame oil is commonly used in cooking and as a finishing oil for its light flavor. Black sesame oil is often used in smaller quantities for its stronger taste, adding depth to sauces, dressings, and certain dishes.
The main visual difference is the color—white sesame oil is pale yellow, while black sesame oil has a darker, amber hue.
Both oils offer health benefits such as supporting heart health, providing essential fatty acids, and having anti-inflammatory properties. The specific nutrient composition may vary slightly.
