Sesame oil is a popular edible oil derived from sesame seeds, known for its distinct nutty flavor and aroma. It is typically extracted through cold pressing or refining processes, resulting in either light or dark varieties, with the dark oil being made from toasted seeds. This oil is rich in unsaturated fats and antioxidants, making it a healthy choice for cooking and food preparation.
