Is sesame oil and sesame seed oil the same thing?!
Sesame seed oil the oriental asian type is from toasted seeds has a very prononouced flavour and smell, and does not last as long as the untoasted and refined one.
One is use for cooking the other as a finishing oil in dishes for a flavour enhancement of in a marinate for flavour, asian cuisines use it for the flavour, the untoasted type is fine for cooking or in salad dressing, it is not cheap in volume as a pose to veg or canola oil in the same quantity.
Answers: I am a former chef and they can vary, sesame oil is from untoasted sesame seed and is a light yellowy colour and is light in flavour.
