About Sesame bun

The sesame bun is a soft and flavorful bread roll topped with toasted sesame seeds, adding a nutty crunch and subtle aroma. Typically made from a base of flour, water, yeast, sugar, salt, and sometimes milk or butter, it boasts a slightly sweet and airy texture. Originating from Middle Eastern and Asian cuisines, sesame buns have become a global staple, especially popular as a base for burgers or sandwiches. The sesame seeds provide a modest source of healthy fats, protein, and essential minerals like calcium and magnesium. However, the bun’s refined flour and added sugars may make it less suitable for those seeking low-carb or whole-grain options. While sesame buns can be part of a balanced diet, pairing them with nutrient-dense fillings like lean proteins, fresh vegetables, and healthy spreads can enhance their nutritional value.
