Sesame oil is an edible vegetable oil derived from sesame seeds. Besides being used as a cooking oil, it is used as a flavour enhancer in many cuisines, having a distinctive nutty aroma and taste. The oil is one of the earliest known crop based oils. Worldwide mass production is limited due to the inefficient manual harvesting process required to extract the oil.
