It is especially useful for dry and damaged skins as well as in the treatment of sunburn, skin allergies, chemical burns, eczema, rosacea, dry hair and dandruff. It also provides a benefit for patients undergoing chemotherapy and those sensitive to swimming pool chlorine. Culinary Benefits Cold-pressed sesame oil keeps the longest among cooking oils with high smoke points. This is due to preservative actions of sesamin and sesamol naturally present in it. These preservatives make it possible to keep sesame oil from going rancid even while it is stored in the open. Unlike the darker sesame oil obtained from roasted sesame seeds, cold-pressed sesame oil has a higher smoke point and can be used for deep-frying. Even then it should be heated carefully to preserves its mild, nutty flavor and maintain its concentration of vitamin E and unsaturated fatty acids. Nature Greens Organic Farm & Store 8124766068
