About White sesame seeds

White sesame seeds are tiny, flat seeds derived from the flowering plant Sesamum indicum, primarily grown in tropical and subtropical regions. They are a staple in Middle Eastern, Asian, and African cuisines, adding a nutty flavor and crunch to dishes like tahini, sushi, and baked goods. Rich in nutrients, these seeds are an excellent source of healthy fats, protein, calcium, iron, and magnesium, promoting bone health and energy production. They also contain antioxidants like sesamin and sesamol, which may support heart health and combat inflammation. However, white sesame seeds are calorie-dense due to their high fat content, so portion control is recommended for those watching caloric intake. Their versatility makes them a nutritious and flavorful addition to salads, stir-fries, and desserts.
