Harvesting

Organic sesame seed oil is made from sesame seeds grown in warm climates and harvested in late summer or autumn. After cleaning and drying, the seeds are pressed to produce a golden oil with a nutty aroma, widely used in cooking and skincare.

Rich in vitamin E, copper, calcium, and magnesium, sesame seed oil provides nutritional and potential health benefits. Its organic production ensures purity and supports sustainable farming practices, making it a nutritious and environmentally friendly choice.

The organic nature of Organic Sesame Seed Oil means that it is grown and harvested without the use of synthetic pesticides or fertilisers, preserving its natural composition.

Best Before

We believe in mindful consumption and want to share some insights on best before dates, especially when it comes to our dried foods. Best before dates indicate peak freshness and quality, not safety. Dried foods, such as grains and legumes, can often be safe and nutritious beyond their best before dates. They may lose a bit of their peak quality, but they remain a valuable and sustainable food source.

We encourage you to trust your senses. If stored properly and free from moisture, dried foods can maintain their safety and flavour for an extended period beyond the best before date. Embrace a less wasteful approach by exploring and using these ingredients even if they've passed their best before dates. Together, let's reduce food waste and maximise the full potential of every pantry staple.

Explore Waste Savers, where you'll find items approaching or past their best before date at reduced prices. Embrace conscious consumption, reduce food waste, and give these products a second chance. Your purchase not only saves you money but also contributes to a more sustainable and mindful approach to nourishment.
