About Sesame seeds
Sesame seeds are tiny, oil-rich seeds derived from the sesame plant, one of the oldest cultivated crops known to humanity. Commonly used in cuisines worldwide, they add flavor and texture to dishes, particularly in Middle Eastern, Asian, and Mediterranean cooking. Packed with nutrients, sesame seeds are an excellent source of healthy fats, protein, fiber, and vitamins like B-complex and E. They also contain essential minerals such as calcium, magnesium, zinc, and iron, which support bone health, immune function, and energy production. Rich in antioxidants and lignans, sesame seeds have shown potential in reducing inflammation and promoting heart health. However, due to their high oil content, they are calorie-dense and should be consumed in moderation, especially in diets aimed at weight management. Whether toasted, raw, or ground into tahini, sesame seeds offer versatile, nutritious benefits that complement a balanced diet.
