About the Botany of Sesame Oil
Sesame oil is extracted from sesame seeds (Sesamum indicum), an herbaceous plant of the Pedaliaceae family. Native to tropical regions of Africa and Asia, this annual plant can grow up to a meter tall and produces small capsules containing oil-rich seeds. These seeds, which can be white, golden, or black depending on the variety, are cold-pressed or lightly toasted before extraction, depending on the type of oil desired.
A Treasure of Asian Cuisine
Sesame is one of the world’s oldest crops, cultivated for thousands of years in Africa, the Middle East, and the Mediterranean regions. Sesame oil holds a special place in Asian cuisine, particularly in China, Japan, and Korea, where it is valued for its flavor and nutritional benefits.
