About Sesame seed
Sesame seeds are tiny, oil-rich seeds derived from the Sesamum indicum plant, which has origins in Africa and India. Popular in Middle Eastern, Asian, and Mediterranean cuisines, they are celebrated for their nutty flavor and versatility in dishes like tahini, hummus, and baked goods. Nutritionally, sesame seeds are packed with healthy fats, including omega-6 fatty acids, and are a rich source of plant-based protein. They also provide key minerals like calcium, magnesium, iron, and zinc, which support bone health and immune function. Sesame seeds contain fiber, aiding digestion, and antioxidants, including lignans, which promote heart health. However, they are calorie-dense due to their high fat content, so portion control is key. Whether sprinkled on salads or ground into paste, sesame seeds add a nutrient-packed crunch to any meal.
