About Sesame
Sesame seeds are tiny, nutrient-packed seeds derived from the flowering plant Sesamum indicum, native to Africa and parts of Asia. A staple in Middle Eastern, Asian, and Mediterranean cuisines, sesame seeds are often used in baking, sauces, and garnish, or processed into oil or tahini paste. Rich in healthy fats, particularly unsaturated fats, sesame seeds are an excellent source of protein, fiber, and essential minerals like calcium, magnesium, and zinc. They also contain antioxidants, including lignans, which may support heart health and reduce inflammation. However, their high-calorie content from fats means moderation is key for those monitoring caloric intake or trying to manage weight. Whether toasted, raw, or processed, sesame seeds offer a versatile and flavorful way to enhance meals while adding a nutritional boost.
