About Seasame

Sesame seeds are small, oval-shaped seeds derived from the Sesamum indicum plant, native to Africa and widely cultivated in Asia. Often praised for their nutty flavor, they are a staple in Middle Eastern, Asian, and Mediterranean cuisines, appearing in dishes like tahini, sesame oil, and baked goods. These seeds are rich in essential nutrients such as calcium, magnesium, zinc, and healthy fats, making them excellent for bone health, heart health, and overall cell functioning. They also contain antioxidants, including sesamin and sesamol, which may support longevity and reduce inflammation. Though highly nutritious, sesame seeds are calorie-dense and should be consumed in moderation, especially for individuals maintaining a calorie-restricted diet. Whether toasted, raw, or processed into oil, sesame adds flavor and texture while offering a wealth of health benefits.
