Description

Pure til oil” is the English phrase for pure sesame oil or pure gingelly oil. It is an edible, vegetable oil derived from sesame seeds, known for its distinct nutty flavor and aroma. 

Key Characteristics
Extraction Method: For “pure” oil (especially for culinary and wellness use), it is often cold-pressed (or kachi ghani in Hindi, using a traditional wooden press/kolhu) without the use of heat or chemical solvents, which helps retain its natural nutrients, flavor, and aroma.
Appearance and Aroma: Unrefined or cold-pressed pure til oil typically has a light golden color and a mild, nutty scent. Toasted sesame oil (also pure, but processed differently) has a deep brown color and a strong, rich aroma, and is used more as a finishing or seasoning oil rather than for general cooking.
Nutritional Profile: It is rich in healthy fats (monounsaturated and polyunsaturated, including Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids) and antioxidants like sesamol and sesamin. It also contains vitamins E and K, and minerals like magnesium and calcium.
