I have to try sesame oil.
Bought a bottle recently!
Any one using it and seen any positive effect on their health?

I've used it for years as an occasional flavouring in
stir-fries, before diagnosis and since.

The only thing it effected was the taste of the dish. It had
no discernible effect on any aspect of my health.

Yes, I use sesame seeds also, but it's too strong a flavour to use on
its own, I cook with other oils and add sesame oil much as I would add
other herbs or spices.

Here you go, fry some cashew nuts and sesame seeds in groundnut oil,
add prawns, chillies, garam masala, cumin, coriander, cardamom, ginger
etc. and bean sprouts, stir in a little sesame oil and serve with
salad yum yum

More sesame than that and you couldn't taste the other stuff IME.


AFAICT, in the USA the most common Sesame Oil is the Roasted variety.
This has a dark color and strong flavor. When people in the USA see
"Sesame Oil" that is what they think of.

In the far east, however, the standard Sesame Oil is plain, not
roasted. This is very mild in flavor and color - almost none, in
fact. This is what typical Chinese and Japanese recipes are calling
for. Over there "Sesame Oil" is a cooking oil, not a flavoring oil.
