WHY IT'S KETO-FRIENDLY

  • Zero net carbs: pure fat that aligns with ketogenic macros
  • Antioxidant lignans: sesamin/sesamol add stability and support
  • Primarily unsaturated fats with minimal carbs
  • Distinct flavor: small amounts add big taste, so you can use less overall
  • Naturally complements keto stir-fries, marinades, and dressings

PREPARATION SUGGESTIONS

STIR-FRY FINISH

Drizzle toasted sesame oil at the end of cooking meats and low-carb veggies for authentic aroma without overheating the oil.

SOUP GARNISH

Add a few drops to bone broth or miso-style keto soups just before serving.

VEGETABLE DIPPING OIL

Blend sesame oil with Low Sodium Soy Sauce and wasabi for a punchy dip for cucumbers or celery.
