Summary

This product is made from organic toasted sesame seed oil, which is a seed oil known for its high omega-6 fatty acid content that can promote inflammation. Although it is expeller pressed and organic, which are positive attributes, the health concerns associated with seed oils remain significant. The processing level is moderate, as it involves toasting and pressing, but it lacks the beneficial properties found in healthier oils like extra virgin olive oil.
