Although black sesame oil, white sesame oil and sesame oil are all extracted from sesame, the raw materials, extraction methods and uses of these three oils are quite different. What is the difference between black sesame oil, white sesame oil and sesame oil? What is the difference? Next, I will share it with you.

1. What are the nutritional components of sesame?

Nutrients in sesame mainly include fat, protein, sugar, calcium, iron, dietary fiber, vitamin B, vitamin E, magnesium, potassium and zinc. The proportion of fatty acids is quite good, containing about 45% polyunsaturated acids and 40% monounsaturated acids, and the content of saturated fatty acids is only 65,438+00%, which is very healthy.

2. Black sesame oil is suitable for tonic.

Black sesame oil has been baked by fire in the production process, so the produced oil is dark in color and mellow in taste, and the properties of black sesame oil are warm, which is more suitable for tonic. There are many dishes using black sesame oil, such as sesame chicken, sesame pork liver, sesame noodles, shochu chicken and three cups of chicken. They all have one thing in common: they are more nutritious and can be used to keep fit. For women, black sesame oil is also suitable for postpartum tonic, which can discharge lochia well, but it is not recommended during pregnancy to avoid bleeding and accidents.

In particular, we should pay attention to the warmth of black sesame seeds, and it is not allowed to stir-fry ginger with sesame oil when cooking.

3. White sesame oil is more suitable for seasoning.

When making white sesame oil, white sesame is usually fried for a few minutes to make it slightly cooked, so the color of white sesame oil is lighter, the smell is lighter than that of black sesame oil, and white sesame oil is more fragrant. If you cook with white sesame oil, it is easy to cover up the taste of the dish. Therefore, white sesame oil is usually used as a seasoning for cold dishes and the like, and can also be used to make jiaozi dipping sauce with vinegar.

Sesame oil can add flavor and luster to food.

Usually, sesame oil is made by adding some other edible oils to white sesame oil and blending it according to a certain proportion. Because it is blended oil, its fragrance is lighter than that of white sesame oil. When it is used in cooking, it is usually used to enhance the flavor in soups and vegetables. Dropping two drops of sesame oil before cooking can make the flavor and luster of the dishes better.
