About Green sesame seeds

Green sesame seeds are a vibrant variation of the traditional sesame seed, originating from regions in Asia where sesame cultivation thrives. Known for their delicate nutty flavor and mild earthy undertones, these seeds are a popular ingredient in both sweet and savory dishes, especially in Middle Eastern, Japanese, and Korean cuisines. Packed with essential nutrients, green sesame seeds are a rich source of healthy fats, plant-based protein, and dietary fiber. They also contain vital minerals such as calcium, magnesium, and zinc, which support bone health, skin vitality, and immune function. Additionally, their antioxidant properties, including lignans and vitamin E, may help reduce oxidative stress and promote heart health. While beneficial in moderation, sesame seeds are calorie-dense, so overconsumption can contribute to excess caloric intake. For those with allergies, sesame seeds can pose a risk. Overall, green sesame seeds offer a nutritious, flavorful addition to a balanced diet.
