Sesame Seeds
About Sesame Seeds
Sesame seeds are tiny, oil-rich seeds derived from the sesame plant. They are a common ingredient in many cuisines worldwide, used for their nutty flavor and crunchy texture. Sesame seeds are typically harvested by drying the seed pods and then extracting the seeds.
These seeds are rich in healthy fats, protein, dietary fiber, and a variety of essential minerals like calcium, magnesium, and iron. They are a source of antioxidants, which may have health benefits. However, individuals with sesame allergies should avoid them.
