About Sesame crust

Sesame crust is a flavorful coating made primarily from sesame seeds, often used to enhance the texture and taste of dishes across various cuisines, particularly Asian and Middle Eastern. The crust can be prepared by pressing sesame seeds, sometimes mixed with seasonings like salt or spices, onto the surface of proteins such as fish, chicken, or tofu before cooking. Sesame seeds are rich in healthy fats, plant-based protein, fiber, and essential nutrients like calcium, magnesium, and antioxidants, making this topping a nutritious choice. However, it is calorie-dense due to its high fat content, so portion control is recommended. Sesame crust adds a satisfying crunch and nutty aroma while boosting the nutritional profile of meals. Perfect for baked, grilled, or pan-seared recipes, it blends health benefits with indulgent flavor, making it a popular choice for creative, wholesome cooking.
