toasted sesame oil!!

OMG bought this for the first time today, its bloody gorgeous!
 
anyone know where i could find out, or know, what the fats are in it, so i can work out how much i can include in my diet?
 
cheers

I know this sounds dumb!!..but is that the same as just normal sesame oil?  lol  .... lush in stir fries, the smell of it heating up in the wok makes me droooooooooool

See Oil, sesame, salad or cooking
It has a very strong flavour so you don't eat very much per serving.

its gorgeous!
 
i currently use about 20ml of EVOO, and 30ml of walnut oil per day. i reckon i could easily get through 10-15ml of sesame oil per day added onto my salads and rice

i poured it on my basmati rice!  then mixed some with balsamic vinegar to go on my salad! mmmmmmmmmmmmm!!!

Is this the light or dark sesame oil?

Have to add some of this to various things i'm cooking.

The aroma just adds so much to the taste of things i am fuller with less food

the dark one, does it make a difference?

mate, I love toasted sesame oil and add a dash to several dishes, salad sauces, stir fries etc.

But dont heat it, just add it when the cooking has been done.

I'm rubbish at explaining about fats, forget whether it's saturated or unsaturated and quite honestly cant be bother keeping up to date on which is bad or good for you. But as far as I understand toasted sesame oil is not a "good oil", the clear sesame oil can be heated to cook with and is a "better" oil. Hopefully an oil expert can expand on that.

cheers, havent been cooking with it mate, if im frying i either do it dry, with a very small amount of veg oil, or with butter if i want more fat in the pan.

ive just been using it in either home made salad dressings or sprinkled on rice/potatoes etc

fine in moderation like you're using it, I do too. But I don't think you can add it to your range of "good fats"

wasnt so much about adding it to my good fats, as it was trying to account for it in my fat intake and keep my o3 intake high enough to achive a decent ratio

Yep nice stuff Daz I often have some on my plain rice etc...

More from a culinary point of view as the light oil is more for cooking and dressings; the dark for flavourings and marinades

i mix it with olive oil and balsamic for salad dressing, or sprinkle it on my cooked rice

might get the light one next time and see what thats like
