Cold Pressed Sesame Oil BIO 500ml

Sesame oil, the vegetable oil produced from sesame seeds, is considered one of the finest oils, is used in cooking worldwide, provides significant health benefits, and is popular in traditional medicine in many countries. It contains the natural lignans, sesamin and sesaminol which, in combination with vitamin E (in the form of γ-tocopherol), provide a strong antioxidant effect and neutralize nitrogenous free radicals. Also, these lignans contribute to the inhibition of synthesis and the reduction of LDL cholesterol, keeping the cardiovascular system in good health. At the same time, they cause expansion and elasticity in the arteries, facilitating blood circulation and thus helping to maintain low blood pressure, in combination with the presence of polyunsaturated fatty acids. Studies have also shown that consuming sesame oil is associated with maintaining low blood glucose levels and beneficially affects glycated hemoglobin in diabetics. The lignans sesamin and sesaminol protect it from being oxidized quickly. So sesame oil is ideal for cooking.
