About Roasted sesame seed

Roasted sesame seeds are small yet powerful seeds packed with flavor and nutrients, commonly used in Asian, Middle Eastern, and Mediterranean cuisines. Toasted to enhance their nutty aroma and rich taste, they are a versatile ingredient for savory dishes, baked goods, and salad toppings. Nutritionally, sesame seeds are an excellent source of healthy fats, plant-based protein, calcium, magnesium, and antioxidants such as sesamin and sesamol, which may support heart health and reduce inflammation. They are also rich in fiber, aiding digestion and promoting satiety. However, they are calorie-dense and should be consumed in moderation, especially for individuals watching their caloric intake. Their natural oils make them a healthy addition to any diet when used mindfully.
