ORGANIC Sesame seed oil

Ölmühle Solling's virgin sesame oil is cold-pressed fresh from the mill from unroasted sesame seeds. This preserves valuable ingredients and the typical taste of the variety particularly well. Unroasted, virgin sesame oil is an important ingredient in Ayurvedic and macrobiotic cuisine. Compared to sesame oil pressed from roasted seeds, virgin oil has a particularly mild taste. The light yellow sesame oil is a pure, natural product with a long shelf life. Connoisseurs of Asian cuisine love and appreciate the mild aroma and taste of virgin sesame oil.

Sesame oil for frying

Our cold-pressed sesame oil is ideal for frying and heating food. It is therefore particularly popular in hot dishes. It gives Asian dishes a typical, strong flavor. Sesame oil is particularly ideal for frying tofu and vegetables. Of course, the oil made from virgin or roasted sesame seeds can also be used for cold dishes and tastes perfect in a dressing for papaya and mango salad, for example.

Oil pulling with sesame oil

Oil pulling is an Ayurvedic alternative medicine method in which the mouth is rinsed with virgin vegetable oils. Oil pulling, also known as oil cure or oil chewing, is used to cleanse the teeth and tongue. It is intended to remove toxins and improve oral hygiene, but also to eliminate bacteria and other pathogens from the oral cavity and thus from the body.

The virgin sesame oil from Ölmühle Solling is ideal for oil pulling. To do this, two teaspoons of oil are slowly moved back and forth in the mouth for 10 to 20 minutes and pulled through between the teeth once a day. The sesame oil must then be spat out as it absorbs the toxins from the mouth. At the end of the treatment, the mouth can be rinsed out with water. In addition to sesame oil, coconut oil, olive oil, sunflower oil, black cumin oil and other unrefined, virgin edible oils are also suitable for oil pulling.

Sesame oil as valuable skin care

In Ayurvedic medicine, sesame oil is traditionally used not only as an edible oil but also as a massage oil. Due to its content of phytosterols and valuable, skin-related fatty acids, it penetrates the skin well and increases its suppleness and resistance. To massage, spread the oil on damp skin and massage in gently. For use as a bath oil on its own or mixed with a little cream or milk and stirred into warm bath water. With regular use, the skin becomes smoother, softer and more supple.

Virgin sesame oil is particularly recommended for salads and for diet and light foods. However, hot dishes can also be prepared with sesame oil and sesame oil is even suitable for short frying (up to approx. 180 °C). It is popular in Asian cuisine for frying tofu or refining papaya and mango salad. In Ayurvedic applications, virgin or "matured" sesame oil is preferred for skin care and massage.

For frying, baking, steaming, dressings, dips and marinades.
