The role of sesame oil

When it comes to the effects of sesame oil, many young people don’t understand it, because there is very little sesame oil on the market now. Sesame oil is a relatively "old" oil product. It is quite familiar to many older people because they generally have eaten sesame oil when they were young. Many people who don’t know about sesame oil generally think that sesame oil is the same as the sesame oil we usually eat at home. In fact, this is a wrong idea.

There is almost no sesame oil for sale on the market now, so it is generally impossible for people today to eat sesame oil. Sesame oil is actually a kind of seasoning oil and was often used by people a long time ago. Let’s talk about the effects of sesame oil in detail below, I hope it will be helpful to everyone.

Sesame oil is an ancient edible oil. It is a fatty oil extracted from the seeds of the sesame plant of the sesame family. Sesame is cold-loving and cold-resistant by nature and can only grow in the high-altitude and arid areas of the northwest. The "Hu" in "Hu Ma" refers to the ethnic minorities and regions in northwest my country in ancient times. This shows that sesame has been growing in the northwest region from ancient times to the present.

Since sesame only grows in a few areas in the northwest, it is little known to people in other places. In addition, sesame production and oil yield are very low, so sesame has not been widely popularized. Therefore, there are many wrong names for sesame. In the southeast coastal areas and other places, people have never seen sesame or sesame oil, so many people mistakenly call flax oil, sesame oil, etc. sesame oil. Sesame is native to Africa and was introduced to China's northwestern ethnic minority areas during the Han Dynasty. Due to its unique habits, it cannot grow in plains. Sesame has been improved to make it more adaptable to growth and have higher yield and oil yield. The improved sesame is called "flax". Traditional sesame is only grown in a few areas in China, and only in small quantities in mountainous areas such as Ningxia and Gansu. Shanxi, Inner Mongolia and other places have all been improved to flax.

Regular consumption of flaxseed (heizhima) can get rid of all chronic diseases and has the effect of rejuvenation and immortality. If it is cooked with rice, it is called "immortal food" among the people. According to scientific analysis: the main component of sesame oil is unsaturated fatty acids, accounting for 85% to 90%, oleic acid and linoleic acid basically account for 50% each. It is characterized by strong stability and easy preservation. This is because sesame oil contains a natural antioxidant - linolenic acid. Sesame oil also contains protein, sesamin, vitamin E, lecithin, sucrose, calcium, phosphorus, iron and other minerals. It is an extremely nutritious edible oil.

Therefore, through the detailed introduction of sesame oil and its functions in the above article, I believe that most people should now have a considerable understanding of sesame oil. Therefore, people will no longer confuse sesame oil with sesame oil in the future. In fact, the effects and nutritional value of sesame oil are very good, so you can eat it if you have the opportunity.
