Black sesame seeds, native to Asia and parts of the Middle East, are tiny, nutrient-dense seeds celebrated for their rich nutty flavor and deep black hue. Packed with essential nutrients, they are a good source of healthy fats, protein, fiber, and antioxidants, including lignans like sesamin and sesamolin. These seeds also provide minerals such as calcium, magnesium, zinc, and iron, contributing to bone health, energy production, and overall wellness. Commonly found in Asian and Middle Eastern cuisine, black sesame seeds are used in dishes ranging from desserts to savory meals, lending a distinctive taste and texture. While they offer numerous health benefits, their calorie density means portion control is key, especially for those mindful of calorie intake. Whether sprinkled atop salads or blended into smoothies, black sesame seeds are a flavorful way to enhance nutritional value in meals.
