Description
Sesame seeds are rich in protein, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. They are commonly added to certain foods to provide a nutty flavour and crunchy texture.
The sesamin and sesamolin in sesame seeds are known for their antioxidant and antibacterial properties. Antioxidants are important to your health because they protect your body against various diseases by slowing down damage to cells. The antibacterial activity of sesame seeds is proven to fight against staph infections and strep throat as well as common skin fungi, such as athlete’s foot.
Sesame seeds can be eaten raw, or they can be baked or toasted to bring out more of their natural nutty flavour. They are a common topping on bagels, burger buns, salads, and breadsticks. They can also be tossed into salads. Tahini, which is a main ingredient in hummus, is made from ground sesame seeds.
Sesame seeds are full of high quality protein. Sesame helps lower cholesterol levels, because it contains phytosterols that block cholesterol production.
Sesame seeds contain the stress-relieving minerals magnesium and calcium. Sesame also contains the calming vitamins thiamin and tryptophan that help produce serotonin, which reduces pain, assists moods, and helps you sleep deeply.
The high copper content in sesame seeds prevents and relieves arthritis, and strengthens bones, joints and blood vessels.
