它是什么？

芝麻油有两种类型：toasted(aka dark, or Asian) sesame oil, andlightsesame oil. Oil made from toasted seeds ranges from golden to brown in color and has a pronounced nutty flavor. It’s primarily used for seasoning, not cooking (it gives a great boost to any Asian stir-fry, noodle dish, or soup), and a little can go a long way.

较轻的版本（光是指颜色，而不是卡路里或脂肪含量）是用未涂层的种子制成的，并在健康食品或中东商店中出售。尽管味道温和，但它也可以用作调味料。它也比黑芝麻油更适合烹饪。

How to choose:

You can tell if a sesame oil is toasted by its dark color. Kadoya brand is a good brand of toasted sesame oil.

How to prep:

Taste before using to be sure it still tastes fresh.

How to store:

Refrigerate both toasted and untoasted sesame oils to prevent rancidity.
