Dr. Sears Toasted Sesame Oil is unbelievably delicious, smooth tasting, unrefined, and organic. Sesame oil and especially toasted sesame oil has been held with extreme high regard in India and the Far East. Why? We now know the health benefits lie with a group of chemicals known as polyphenols. In high enough concentrations, these polyphenols act as anti-inflammatory agents that inhibit the genetic expression of pro-inflammatory proteins. Toasting the sesame seeds prior to extraction produces other polyphenols, such as sesamol, that inhibit the formation of arachidonic acid, a precursor to inflammation. Now all of these benefits are available in our Organic Toasted Sesame Oil. The reason it has to be organic is that once the toasted sesame oil has been extracted, it can’t be further refined as that would take out all the polyphenols. There is a very limited supply of this type of toasted sesame oil in the world. Zone Toasted Sesame Oil is perfect over salads or in all sorts of recipes to add a unique and delightfully elegant flavor. If you want to make any meal into a truly anti-inflammatory meal, think of adding Zone Labs’ Organic Toasted Sesame Oil to it.
