Is there a saying of raw sesame oil? Some medical books talk about raw sesame oil. What happened?

Sesame oil is rich in vitamin E and linoleic acid (unsaturated fatty acid). Vitamin E has strong antioxidant capacity, which can protect human cells and promote metabolism. Linoleic acid and palmitic acid are easily absorbed, which can clear the deposits on the blood vessel wall, reduce cholesterol and prevent vascular diseases such as arteriosclerosis.

Sesame oil is backed by the "oil queen", which shows how high its nutritional value is. However, sesame oil is slightly bitter in cooking, and high temperature will destroy nutrition, so people often use it to cook. In addition to sesame oil, sesame has high medicinal value, from leaves to straw to roots. You can ask Chinese medicine.

Don't think that eating less sesame oil ignores the quality of sesame oil. Before, some fans asked, hasn't sesame oil tasted normal for a while? Did you buy fake sesame oil?

I can tell you for sure, yes, you bought fake sesame oil!

There are several kinds of sesame oil sold in the market now: pure ground sesame oil, machine pressed sesame oil, blended oil and fake oil.

Let's talk about the characteristics of these sesame oils first, and you will know how to distinguish and choose sesame oils.

1. Pure ground sesame oil: ground with a stone mill, and the temperature of 50 to 60 degrees Celsius will not destroy the fragrance in sesame seeds. Sesame oil is replaced by water, without any chemical solvent, and harmful heavy metals will precipitate out. After physical filtration, the oil will be crystal clear and the fragrance will not disappear.

2. Machine-pressed sesame oil: Machine-pressed sesame oil is fried by hydraulic oil press and various automatic separation equipment, which has high efficiency and low cost, but high temperature will destroy the nutrients in it and the separation is not complete.

3. Mix sesame oil. Mixed sesame oil is a mixture of sesame oil and other oils, and even additives. In the list of ingredients for blending sesame oil, sesame oil ranks first, slightly better, followed by sesame oil, mostly other oils.

4. Fake sesame oil. False sesame oil ingredients, other oils, essence, water, additives. The first three oils are still called sesame oil, but this oil is not called sesame oil. There is no sesame oil.

Speaking of this, everyone should have a little bottom in their hearts and know what kind of sesame oil to choose. However, in the process of purchasing, I hope you can distinguish carefully:

1. Drop a drop of essential oil on the palm of your hand and rub it vigorously with your palm. Real sesame oil will give off a pure fragrance, while blended sesame oil is light and can smell other oils, while fake sesame oil will give off a pungent smell that does not belong to sesame oil.

2. Drop a drop of fragrant oil into the water. The oil surface of true sesame oil is very thin, and it will become many small oil flowers after pressing; The oil surface of fake sesame oil and blended oil is very thick, so it is not easy to disperse when stirring, and there will still be many large oil droplets.

3. Look at the label and price. First of all, the higher the price, the better. Don't ask me why. The cost price and oil yield of sesame are there. You can do the math yourself. The second is the label, which must have the place of origin, manufacturer, production date and ingredient list. The first place must be sesame or sesame oil, not vegetable oil.
