Sridhanjanki’s cold pressed virgin sesame oil is produced by cold pressed traditional method without use of chemicals and preservatives and that’s the reason we call it as “Sesame Naturoil”.
Virgin sesame Oil is obtained from sesame plant seeds through the cold-pressed method (ancient method of crushing seeds at low temperature so vitamins, fatty acids and natural properties are retained in the oil). Since no further refining is done, hence oil is 100% free of chemicals. During the processing no preservatives, trans fats, color, or flavor are used.
This oil has a pale yellow colour with pleasant aroma and a nutty flavour.
Cold-pressed sesame oil is a good source of vitamin E, containing 11.8 mg of the vitamin for every 100 g of the oil. Vitamin E gives sesame oil its antioxidant property. It also has a high concentration of fatty acids, including polyunsaturated omega-6 fatty acids and monounsaturated omega-9 fatty acids. Other constituents of cold-pressed sesame oil include zinc, copper, magnesium, calcium and iron as well as vitamin B-6. Zinc contributes to healthy bones; copper is good for the management of rheumatoid arthritis; calcium is essential for the prevention of osteoporosis, migraine and colon cancer; and magnesium contributes to respiratory health.
At Sridhanjanki, we ensure that pure cold-pressed Sesame oil is free from suspended matter and is extracted under the most hygienic conditions
