About Black sesame moon cake

Black Sesame Moon Cake is a traditional Chinese pastry enjoyed during the Mid-Autumn Festival. Its rich, dark filling is made primarily from ground black sesame seeds, sugar, and fat, offering a bold, nutty flavor. The outer layer consists of a tender, golden-brown crust made with flour, oil, and a touch of sweetness. Black sesame is a good source of healthy fats, antioxidants, calcium, and magnesium, making this ingredient a nourishing addition to the treat. However, the moon cake’s overall nutritional profile is influenced by added sugars and fats, making it a calorie-dense dessert best enjoyed in moderation. Often shared as a symbol of family and unity, this delicacy represents a balance between indulgence and cultural tradition, offering both taste and symbolic value to those celebrating the holiday.
