About 80% of the black sesame products sold in Japan are actually black sesame seeds from Myanmar. Black sesame, which has a limited number of production countries, has a higher market value and a higher price, so few companies bother to make it oil. However, in Indian traditional medicine "Ayurveda", extra virgin black sesame has been used since ancient times. In Ayurveda, black sesame seeds are more potent than white sesame seeds because they absorb more of the sun's energy. Black sesame oil has been used for the surface of the body, and white sesame oil has been used for food. However, since it is not easily available, white rice has been substituted in recent years. In addition, since it is pressed by cold pressing, it takes a long time and cannot be produced in large quantities. In order to expand the possibilities of Myanmar sesame seeds, we pressed black sesame seeds unroasted only once. Compared to regular extra virgin (white sesame), black sesame extra virgin is more refreshing. [What is extra virgin sesame oil?] It is a pure sesame oil made by squeezing "unroasted" white sesame seeds at low pressure. In the general extraction method, more than 5 times the pressure is applied, and the frictional heat is generated, resulting in charring and darkening of the color. Low pressure is a very time-consuming manufacturing method, but since the pressure is very low, there is almost no frictional heat. It can preserve more of the original flavor and nutrients of sesame seeds. It has a nutty sweetness and is popular in salads, egg-covered rice, pasta, and baguettes. It can also be used for cooking in general, but it is recommended to eat it "raw" without heating. It is an indispensable oil for raw food. ※Difference from thick white sesame oil※ It's the same thing when you're squeezing unroasted white sesame seeds. But White sesame oil is bleached (decolorized and deodorized) after ⇒ pressing, so it has no color or smell, and you can hardly feel the flavor of sesame seeds. Sesame oil unique to Japan. EXTRA VIRGIN SESAME OIL is a 100% pure oil that is still pressed. The original color, smell, taste, and nutrients of pressed white sesame seeds are firmly preserved. It is an oil that is especially preferred by those who usually use salad oil and olive oil. Of course, there are individual differences, but it has been well received by customers because it is smoother than salad oil and olive oil. *Use as Ayurveda* Since ancient times, Ayurveda, a traditional medicine in India and Sri Lanka, has used "unroasted" and "unrefined" sesame oil. Our EXTRA VIRGIN SESAME OIL can also be used for hand and foot massages. Compared to thick white sesame oil, which has been deodorized and decolorized, there is a difference in the high absorption capacity. I would also like you to pay attention to the moisturizing power after washing off.
