About Black sesame bun

Black Sesame Bun is a soft, steamed pastry filled with sweet black sesame paste, popular in Chinese cuisine. The bun is typically made from a mix of wheat flour, water, sugar, and yeast, while the filling combines finely ground black sesame seeds, sugar, and sometimes butter or lard for added richness. Black sesame seeds are celebrated for their nutritional benefits, as they are high in healthy fats, antioxidants, calcium, and iron, which support bone health and may aid in digestion. However, the sugar content in the filling can contribute to a higher calorie count, making it more of an occasional treat than a staple food. Its distinct nutty flavor and delicate sweetness make it a favorite in dim sum menus or as a satisfying dessert option. Perfectly balanced and full of traditional flair, the Black Sesame Bun reflects the harmony of taste and texture in Asian culinary arts.
