About Black sesame ball

Black sesame balls, also known as "zhīma tāngyuán" in Chinese cuisine, are traditional sweet snacks often enjoyed during festive occasions like Lunar New Year. These chewy glutinous rice balls are filled with a rich, nutty black sesame paste made from ground black sesame seeds, sugar, and occasionally lard or butter for a smoother texture. Known for their signature aroma and velvety filling, they are typically served in a warm, lightly sweetened broth. Black sesame is packed with health benefits, including antioxidants, healthy fats, and essential nutrients like calcium, magnesium, and iron, supporting bone health and digestion. However, the dessert is calorie-dense and contains added sugar and fat, making portion control important for those monitoring dietary intake. Black sesame balls reflect the perfect blend of cultural tradition and indulgence, offering both nourishment and a treat for the senses.
