Summary

This sesame oil is a processed product derived from toasted sesame seeds, which contributes to its classification as a processed food. While sesame oil is a single-ingredient product, it is considered less favorable due to its high omega-6 fatty acid content and potential inflammatory effects compared to healthier oils like olive or avocado oil. The processing involved in extracting the oil can also degrade some beneficial nutrients, impacting its overall healthiness.
