How to Use

For Sautéing

Choose a heavy-bottomed skillet or wok to Sauté your veggies or meat.

Add about 1 to 2 tablespoons of Nutri Oil Cold-pressed Sesame oil to lightly coat the bottom of the pan. Heat the oil. You can test if the oil is hot enough by tossing in a small piece of food— if it sizzles, the oil is ready.

Carefully add your ingredients to the pan.
Use a spatula or tongs to stir/toss the ingredients regularly, ensuring they cook evenly and develop a nice, golden-brown color.

Continue sautéing until your ingredients are cooked through and have developed a desirable texture. You can add additional seasonings like salt, pepper, herbs, or a splash of lemon juice to enhance the flavors of your dish.

Once done, remove the pan and serve hot.

For Skin and Hair Care

Sesame oil is a natural powerhouse when it comes to skincare. Its deep moisturizing properties make it an excellent remedy for dry, flaky skin. Regular application helps to lock in moisture, leaving the skin soft, supple, and radiant.

For hair care, sesame oil is equally beneficial. It nourishes the scalp, strengthens hair follicles, and promotes healthy hair growth. Regular scalp massages with sesame oil can reduce hair fall, combat dandruff, and add a natural shine and luster to your locks.

For Therapeutic Use

Sesame oil’s benefits extend beyond its culinary usage. In Ayurveda, it is revered as a therapeutic oil used for massages to relax muscles, improve circulation, and detoxify the body. The practice of oil pulling with sesame oil is a popular oral health remedy that helps to whiten teeth, reduce bad breath, and improve gum health.
