Light (untoasted) sesame oil
Also called: Saliid macsaro (sisin aan la dubin) (Soomaali) · Huile de sésame claire (non grillée) (Français) · زيت سمسم خفيف (سيرج) (العربية)
Good to know
Light sesame oil is pale gold with a mild, nutty taste, unlike dark toasted sesame oil, which is strong and used only for flavouring. Look for ‘cold-pressed’ or ‘untoasted’ on the label; olive oil is a good swap.
