Wood Pressed Sesame Oil, known as Nalla Ennai or gingelly oil, has been "worth its weight in gold" for centuries. RK Farm Store sun-dries and hand-sorts sesame seeds, then slow-presses them in a wooden chekku - no heat, no chemical extraction - for an aromatic oil with its natural antioxidants intact.

• Traditionally valued for supporting heart health and digestion as part of a balanced diet

• Rich in antioxidants that support skin quality and circulation; a traditional oil-massage favourite for Abhyanga, especially valued in cooler months for its warming, nourishing qualities
