Discover the power of the ancient seed, preserved in a drop of golden oil. Zravnitsa's black sesame oil, cold pressed and unrefined, is a natural treasure trove of valuable substances, combining a thousand-year-old tradition with modern care for health, beauty and good taste.

Black sesame is one of the oldest cultivated plants in the world - with a history that begins in Ancient Babylon and India over 5,000 years ago. Considered a sacred plant in Ayurveda and traditional Chinese medicine, it has been used as food, a healing agent and an elixir of longevity.

The seeds from which the oil is extracted are grown in Bolivia – a country with an extremely favorable climate and soils that contribute to a high concentration of beneficial substances. Bolivian black sesame is distinguished by its purity, rich flavor and rich nutritional value, which makes it a perfect choice for cold pressing.

Natural source of sesamin and phytosterols.

Black sesame oil is a natural source of sesamin – a unique compound, characteristic almost exclusively of sesame seeds. Sesamin acts as a powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory agent, helping to:
- normalize the lipid profile (lowers "bad" LDL cholesterol);
- improve liver function;
- regulate blood sugar and insulin sensitivity;
- protect against oxidative stress at the cellular level.

Phytosterols in the oil also have a well-studied anti-cholesterol effect, inhibiting the absorption of cholesterol in the digestive tract. This makes it extremely beneficial for the cardiovascular system.

Health benefits and uses:
Thanks to its rich content of essential fatty acids, antioxidants, vitamins (especially vitamin E and B vitamins), iron, magnesium, zinc and copper, black sesame oil supports:
- Cardiovascular system – improves the elasticity of blood vessels and reduces the risk of atherosclerosis.
- Nervous system – supports cognitive functions, improves memory and concentration.
- Digestion – stimulates appetite, improves metabolism and has a beneficial effect on constipation.
- Hormonal balance – due to the content of phytoestrogens, it is useful for hormonal imbalance and PMS.
- Liver and detoxification – stimulates liver function and eliminates accumulated toxins.

Black sesame oil and autism
New research and practices in alternative medicine indicate that black sesame oil may have a positive effect on children with autism when used as an additional therapy. It is believed that the polyunsaturated fatty acids and antioxidants contained in it improve neurological function, and a massage with black sesame can contribute to better sensory perception and calmness in children.

Cosmetic benefits:
Black sesame oil is a true natural elixir for skin and hair:
- Deep nourishment and hydration - penetrates the deep layers of the skin and restores its elasticity.
- Anti-aging effect - rich in vitamin E and antioxidants, slows down the aging process.
- Antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effect - suitable for acne, irritated skin or dermatitis.

- Salads, dressings and marinades
- Asian cuisine - in wok dishes, noodles and soups
- Enhancing the taste of grilled vegetables or roasted root vegetables
- Smoothies or cold sauces

It pairs beautifully with: ginger, garlic, soy sauce, honey, lemon juice, chili, cumin and coriander.

What is the difference between black and white sesame?

Although they come from the same plant, black and white sesame seeds have significant differences in terms of composition, taste and application.

Black sesame seeds are used in their unhulled, whole-grain form, which means they retain their outer shell – the most nutrient-rich part. This gives them a more intense, slightly bitter and nutty flavor, as well as a higher concentration of antioxidants such as sesamin and sesamol, which play an important role in protecting cells and regulating cholesterol.

On the other hand, white sesame seeds are usually hulled, which makes them milder in taste, but with a lower content of minerals and bioactive compounds. White sesame seeds are mainly used for baking and salads, where they are preferred for their slightly sweet taste and decorative appearance.

The content of calcium, magnesium, iron and other minerals is significantly higher in black sesame seeds, which makes them more beneficial for the bone system and overall health. Additionally, black sesame seeds have stronger hormone-regulating and antioxidant properties, thanks to their higher phytochemical content.

The color of oil extracted from black sesame seeds is darker and richer, and the flavor is deeper and more complex compared to white sesame seeds, which are lighter and more delicate in aroma.

In summary, black sesame seeds offer higher nutritional value and more powerful health benefits, while white sesame seeds are lighter and more versatile in cooking.
