About Sesame seed ball

Sesame Seed Ball, known as "Jian Dui" in Chinese, is a popular treat in East and Southeast Asian cuisines. This delightful snack features a crispy, golden-brown exterior coated in aromatic sesame seeds with a chewy, slightly sweet glutinous rice flour shell. The interior is traditionally filled with sweet red bean paste, though variations may include lotus seed paste, black sesame filling, or savory options. Nutritionally, Sesame Seed Balls are a rich source of energy due to their carbohydrate and fat content. Sesame seeds provide a modest dose of healthy fats, calcium, and other trace minerals, while the fillings often contain antioxidants and fiber, depending on their ingredients. However, they are typically deep-fried, which adds to their calorie count and saturated fat content, making them an occasional indulgence rather than a health-focused food. Enjoy them as a treat that balances flavor with cultural tradition.
