Description
Aroma: Rich, Earthy & Nutty
Flavour: Bold, Savoury & Traditional
Shankar Gingelly Oil (also known as Sesame Oil) is a premium, tradition-rich oil extracted from the finest sesame seeds. This is a staple in South Indian households, celebrated for its unique extraction process that balances a deep, robust flavour with significant health benefits, making it a cornerstone of both the kitchen and holistic wellness.
-
The Secret to Pure Cooking: Known for its distinct stability and high smoke point, Shankar Gingelly Oil is ideal for a variety of cooking techniques. It is especially famous for tempering (tadka), where it releases a characteristic nutty aroma that defines the authentic taste of sambars, dals, and traditional vegetable stir-fries.
-
Culinary Versatility: The 1L format is the perfect size for regular family use. It is the essential ingredient for making authentic South Indian pickles (Achar) and mixing with spicy "Podi" (lentil powders). Its rich, savoury profile adds a layer of complexity to marinades and serves as a flavourful base for traditional gravies.
-
A Holistic Staple: Deeply embedded in Ayurvedic tradition, Gingelly oil is often used for "Abhyanga" (body massage) due to its warming properties and ability to soothe the skin. It is also the preferred oil for traditional oil pulling, helping to maintain oral hygiene and overall systemic balance.
-
Nutritional Benefits: Naturally loaded with antioxidants like sesamol and sesamin, this oil supports cardiovascular health and helps manage blood pressure. It is high in essential fatty acids and Vitamin E, which contribute to healthy skin, hair, and improved immunity.
-
Storage & Care: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve its potent aroma and nutritional integrity. The 1L bottle is designed for easy pantry storage; ensure the cap is tightened securely after use to maintain its freshness and prevent the oil from turning rancid.
Note: As a minimally processed oil, a small amount of natural sediment may settle at the bottom. This is a sign of its purity and traditional extraction—simply shake gently before use.
