About Black sesame seed

Black sesame seeds are small, flat seeds with a rich, nutty flavor, widely used in Asian, Middle Eastern, and African cuisines. Originating from the Sesamum indicum plant, they are prized for their culinary versatility and nutritional benefits. These seeds are an excellent source of healthy fats, protein, antioxidants, and essential minerals like calcium, magnesium, and iron, which support bone health, energy production, and overall vitality. They also contain lignans and phytosterols that may contribute to heart health and balanced cholesterol levels. However, black sesame seeds are calorie-dense, so portion control is advised, especially for individuals on calorie-restricted diets. Their robust flavor makes them ideal for baked goods, desserts, salads, and sauces, adding both nutrition and depth to dishes. Incorporating black sesame seeds into your meals is a flavorful way to boost dietary nutrients while enjoying their unique taste.
