Description
Gingelly oil has been the everyday cooking oil of Tamil Nadu for thousands of years and for good reason. Cold pressed from premium sesame seeds at low temperatures, our organic gingelly oil retains the full natural profile of the seed including sesamol and sesamin, two powerful antioxidants unique to sesame that are largely stripped away in refined oil processing.
The difference between cold pressed and refined sesame oil for cooking is significant. Refined oil is processed at high heat with chemicals, losing most of its nutrients and characteristic nutty aroma. Cold pressing keeps the oil golden, fragrant, and nutritionally intact.
Why Cold Pressed Gingelly Oil
- Rich in sesamol and sesamin, natural antioxidants that protect cells from oxidative stress
- Contains polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fatty acids that support healthy cholesterol levels
- Good source of vitamin E and vitamin K for skin health and immune function
- Natural anti-inflammatory properties have been used in traditional Ayurvedic practice for centuries
- Naturally long shelf life due to the preservative action of sesamin and sesamol
How to Use
Use our gingelly oil for tempering, sauteing, and finishing dishes. Drizzle over hot rice with paruppu podi or poondu podi for a classic South Indian meal. Add to millet rotis and dosas made with our millet atta for authentic flavour. It is best used at low to medium heat to preserve its antioxidants and aroma.
