This amber colored, aromatic oil, made from pressed and toasted sesame seeds, is a popular ingredient in
Chinese cooking. Not for use as a cooking oil, however, as the flavor is too intense and it burns quite easily.
Instead, sesame oil is normally added as a flavoring agent in the final stages of cooking. Sesame oil has
been used since ancient times; the Babylonians cultivated sesame seeds for their oil, and the Persians
used it as both a food and medicine. It is still used in holistic preparations for everything from treating
infections to stimulating brain activity. Thick, amber-colored, and aromatic, dark sesame oil is made from
roasted sesame seeds. Dark sesame oil burns easily and loses flavor when overheated, so it is used mostly
as a condiment or flavoring for dressings, soups, and stir-frys. It is available at Asian groceries and well stocked supermarkets.
Sesame (Sesamum indicum) is a crop grown primarily for its oil-rich seeds. The small, cream-white sesame
seed is used whole in cooking for its rich nutty flavour, and also yields a cooking oil. Sesame seeds are
sometimes added to bagels and the top of hamburger buns. Sesame seeds are baked into crackers, often in the form of sticks. Sesame plants are also known as til in India and benne in Africa.
