Roasted sesame seeds are a nutrient-rich ingredient widely used in various cuisines, particularly Asian, Middle Eastern, and Mediterranean cooking. These small, golden-brown seeds pack a punch of flavor with their nutty and slightly smoky taste, achieved through dry roasting. They are a natural source of essential nutrients, including healthy fats, protein, fiber, and minerals like calcium, magnesium, and iron. Sesame seeds also contain antioxidants like sesamol and lignans, which may support heart health and reduce inflammation. Their high unsaturated fat content contributes to lowering bad cholesterol levels. However, they are calorie-dense, so portion control is recommended for those watching their weight or caloric intake. Roasted sesame seeds are versatile, often sprinkled on salads, noodles, and baked goods or ground into pastes such as tahini. With their robust flavor and nutrient profile, they are a fantastic addition to a balanced diet when consumed in moderation.
