Sesame seed oil contains a fairly high proportion of unsaturated fatty acids, and half of its weight is oil. It contains high amounts of vitamins A, B1, B2 and E. It is also very rich in calcium and contains other minerals such as potassium, phosphorus, magnesium and iron.

We recommend it primarily for people who need a high nutritional value, vitamin-rich, energy-dense food. These include children, adolescents, pregnant and breastfeeding women, people recovering from illness, people of changing age and those following a strict plant-based diet.
Interestingly, according to Hindu beliefs, sesame seeds carry the blessings of the deity Yama, and are therefore considered a symbol of immortality in this culture.
