About Sesame balls

Sesame Balls, or "Jian Dui," are a popular treat in Chinese cuisine, often enjoyed as a dessert or snack. These round, golden pastries are made from glutinous rice flour, rolled in sesame seeds, and deep-fried until crisp. They are typically filled with sweet pastes, such as red bean, lotus seed, or black sesame, giving them a rich, chewy center. Originating from China, they are also loved in various parts of Asia under different names. While sesame seeds provide a good source of healthy fats, vitamins, and minerals like calcium and magnesium, the deep-frying process and sugar content make them high in calories and less ideal for regular consumption. Moderation is key to enjoying Sesame Balls as a delightful, occasional treat while reaping the nutritional benefits of their wholesome ingredients.
