RBWD Sesame Seed Oil is characterized as a pale yellow, clear oil having a very mild, nutty odor and taste. Sesame Seed Oil has been produced for thousands of years and is considered the "queen" of oils because of its stability and lack of impurities. RBWD Sesame Seed Oil contains powerful, natural antioxidants (sesamin, sesamol, sesamolin, and phytosterol) which give the oil very good oxidative stability.
