White sesame seeds are small, oval-shaped seeds derived from the Sesamum indicum plant, a crop native to India and Africa. They are a popular ingredient in many global cuisines, particularly in Middle Eastern, Asian, and Mediterranean dishes, adding a subtle, nutty flavor and crunch. Nutritionally, white sesame seeds are rich in healthy fats, particularly polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats, and are an excellent source of plant-based protein. They are packed with key nutrients like calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, iron, and zinc, which promote strong bones, heart health, and overall well-being. Additionally, they provide dietary fiber for digestive health and contain antioxidants such as sesamin and sesamol that combat oxidative stress. While nutrient-dense, sesame seeds are calorie-rich due to their fat content and should be consumed in moderation. Toasted or raw, they are versatile and can be used in salads, baked goods, sauces, or sprinkled as a finishing garnish.
