About Black sesame

Black sesame seeds are tiny, nutrient-rich seeds derived from the Sesamum indicum plant, commonly used in Asian, Middle Eastern, and African cuisines. Known for their nutty flavor and slightly bitter undertone, these seeds are packed with essential nutrients, including healthy fats, protein, fiber, calcium, magnesium, and antioxidants like sesamin and sesamolin. They are particularly valued for supporting bone health, heart health, and promoting glowing skin. Their rich antioxidant content helps combat free radicals, while the healthy fats support brain function and reduce inflammation. However, due to their high-calorie density, they should be consumed in moderation, especially for those managing calorie intake. Black sesame seeds are enjoyed in sweet and savory dishes, such as desserts, soups, salads, and as a topping or paste. Beyond their culinary appeal, they offer both flavor and health benefits, making them a versatile and nutritious ingredient.
