What to know about Anveshan Cold Pressed Black Sesame Oil
A single-ingredient sesame oil that is all fat
A 1 L bottle (909 g) of oil with one ingredient, black sesame seed oil, pressed in a wood kolhu by farmers in Tamil Nadu, according to the pack. It is bought by cooks who want a dark, nutty, unrefined oil for tadka, dressings and light sautéing. No percentage is printed, because the oil is the whole list.
What you get is pure fat. One tablespoon (14 g) has 126 kcal, 14 g fat and 2.38 g saturated fat, with 0 g protein, carbohydrate, sugar, fibre, sodium and trans fat. Vitamin E and vitamin K are each declared at 2% of the daily value per tablespoon. Because it is all fat, 100 g would be about 900 kcal.
The pack gets the basics right: wood-pressed, raw, unrefined, nothing blended in and no palm oil. It leans harder on benefits such as hormonal balance, anti-inflammatory action and a vitamin E powerhouse, and the panel does not back those with numbers. CleanPlate scores it EB1.
Why Anveshan Cold Pressed Black Sesame Oil scores EB1
Nutrition is an E because an oil has no protein or fibre and only 2% of the daily value of vitamins E and K per tablespoon. Ingredients are a B on a single plain ingredient, and risk is a 1 on 2.38 g saturated fat per tablespoon.

01 Nutrition density: why E
Protein is 0 g and fibre is 0 g, and there is no protein source in the list, so the nutrition grade gets no credit on those. The only nutrients declared are vitamin E and vitamin K, at 2% of the daily value each per tablespoon, too small to lift the grade.
This is how a pure oil scores: one tablespoon is 126 kcal, all from 14 g of fat, and nothing else on the panel adds to it.
Scored on protein, fibre and twelve vitamins and minerals, against the Codex and FSSAI "source" and "high" levels, per 100 g and per 100 kcal. Protein also has to supply at least 12.5% of the calories to count, and 25% for full credit.

02 Ingredient integrity: why B
The list is one item, black sesame seed oil. There are no additives, no flavours, no colours, no preservatives and no hydrogenated fat, so nothing costs ingredient points.
Label integrity is clean: the promises about wood-pressing, no blending and no palm oil agree with the list. No percentage is printed, but with one ingredient none is needed.
Scored on how processed the ingredients are, which additives are used and why, and whether the label keeps its promises.

03 Load risk: why 1
Saturated fat is the only part that registers: 2.38 g per tablespoon. Sugar, free sugar, sodium and trans fat are all 0 g, so they add nothing.
Energy does not move the risk number here, so the grade lands at the lowest level, a 1.
Scored on free sugar, sodium, saturated fat and trans fat, each weighed by how strong the evidence of harm is.

Does Anveshan Cold Pressed Black Sesame Oil live up to its claims?
Wood-pressed, unrefined and no blending hold on a one-item list. Vitamin E, hormonal balance and mineral claims are not backed by the panel, and the deep-frying advice conflicts.
- On the packHolds
“Wood-Pressed, no blending, unrefined”
The list has one ingredient, black sesame seed oil, so there is no blend or filler. The pack also says it is not bleached or deodorised.
- On the packBe careful
“Vitamin E powerhouse”
The panel declares vitamin E at 2% of the daily value per 14 g tablespoon. It is present, but a small share for the word powerhouse.
- On the packBe careful
“Supports hormonal balance, anti-inflammatory”
The panel shows no nutrient figure that settles either claim, and no sesamol or sesamin amount is given for the high in sesamol and sesamin line.
- Retail listingBe careful
“Rich in iron, calcium, and zinc”
The retailer page shows iron, calcium and zinc, the pack panel declares none of them. It lists only vitamin E and vitamin K at 2% of the daily value each.
- Retail listingBe careful
“Deep-fry usage vs not for deep-frying”
The retailer page says low smoke point and not suitable for deep-frying, the pack shows deep-fry usage images. The two disagree, so use it for light cooking.
