Gingelly Oil

Gingelly oil, also known as sesame oil or til oil, is an edible vegetable oil derived from sesame seeds. It has been used for culinary and medicinal purposes for thousands of years in various parts of the world, especially in Asian cuisines. The name “gingelly” is believed to have originated from the Dravidian language family, where “ennai” or “nai” means oil.

  1. Culinary uses: Gingelly oil is widely used in cooking due to its unique flavor and aroma. It has a nutty, earthy taste that enhances the taste of many dishes. In Asian cuisines, particularly in Indian, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and Southeast Asian dishes, it is often used for sautéing, frying, and seasoning.
  2. Health benefits: Gingelly oil is considered healthier than many other vegetable oils due to its high content of polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats, which are considered heart-friendly. It also contains antioxidants and vitamin E, which can help protect the body from oxidative stress. However, like all oils, it should be used in moderation.
  3. Medicinal applications: In traditional medicine, gingelly oil has been used for various therapeutic purposes. It is often used as a massage oil in Ayurvedic treatments and is believed to have beneficial effects on the skin and joints.
  4. Skin and hair care: The oil’s moisturizing and nourishing properties make it a popular ingredient in skincare products, especially in South Asian beauty practices. It is also used to promote hair health and shine.

  2. Light and dark varieties: Gingelly oil comes in light and dark varieties. The light variety is made from raw sesame seeds and has a mild flavor, suitable for general cooking purposes. The dark variety is made from toasted sesame seeds, giving it a more robust and intense flavor
