One of the Healthiest Seeds

The Sesame Seed.... one of the healthiest seeds

Sesame seeds are rich in antioxidants, minerals, healthy fats, fiber and protein. They pack an excellent and easily absorbable source of calcium. Calcium is important in the formation and maintenance of bones and teeth. Dietary calcium is particularly critical for those living in warmer climates as it is excreted through sweat. Sesame seeds are a valuable source of Vitamins B1, B2, B3, B6 and B9. B Vitamins play a vital role in the maintenance of physical and mental well-being and are essential for energy conversion and cellular health.

Research suggests that regular consumption of sesame seeds may help lower cholesterol and blood pressure, reduce inflammation and support the immune system. The anti-inflammatory effects of sesamin, a compound found in sesame seeds, may help with protecting cartilage and managing arthritic symptoms. To aid in the absorption and nutritional efficacy, it is recommended that sesame seeds be ground and organic. In addition, grinding brings out the distinct flavour of the sesame seed -mildly sweet and nutty whereas the black sesame seed is nuttier and slightly bitter in taste.
