About Sesame candy

Sesame candy is a sweet treat popular in Middle Eastern, Asian, and Mediterranean cuisines, often enjoyed during festivals or as a snack. Made primarily from sesame seeds bound with sugar or honey, this crunchy confection boasts a simple yet satisfying flavor. Sesame seeds are packed with nutrients like calcium, magnesium, zinc, and healthy fats, making them a source of essential minerals that support bone health, heart health, and energy levels. Additionally, they are rich in fiber and antioxidants. However, the candy's high sugar content can counteract its health benefits if consumed in excess, as it contributes to caloric intake and can impact blood sugar levels. A small amount can be a delightful way to incorporate sesame seeds into your diet while enjoying their subtle nuttiness, but moderation is key.
