About Toasted sesame seeds

Toasted sesame seeds are a flavorful and versatile ingredient widely used in Asian, Middle Eastern, and Mediterranean cuisines. Derived from the seeds of the Sesamum indicum plant, they are gently roasted to enhance their nutty aroma and crisp texture. These tiny seeds pack a nutritional punch, providing essential nutrients like calcium, magnesium, iron, and zinc, along with heart-healthy unsaturated fats. They are also a source of plant-based protein, dietary fiber, and antioxidant compounds like lignans that may support overall health. Toasted sesame seeds can be sprinkled over salads, stir-fries, or baked goods or blended into sauces like tahini. While they are nutrient-dense, they are also calorie-rich, so portion control is key in maintaining a balanced diet. With their rich flavor and impressive nutritional profile, toasted sesame seeds make an excellent addition to a variety of dishes while contributing to your daily nutritional needs.
