About Sesame hotdog bun

Sesame hotdog buns are a variation of traditional hotdog buns topped with toasted sesame seeds. Commonly found in Western cuisine, particularly in North America, they are used to hold a variety of sausages or plant-based alternatives in many casual dining settings. The dough is enriched with wheat flour, sugar, and sometimes milk or butter, while sesame seeds add a nutty flavor and a slight crunch. Nutritionally, one sesame hotdog bun (about 80-100g) typically provides 200-250 calories, 5-7g of protein, and 40-50g of carbohydrates, along with about 6-8g of fat from sesame seeds. It contains small amounts of B vitamins, iron, and calcium, primarily from the enriched flour and sesame seeds.

Health Benefits

• The sesame seeds provide healthy fats, primarily unsaturated fats, which support heart health.
• Enriched wheat flour is a source of B vitamins like folic acid, essential for red blood cell production and energy metabolism.
• Sesame seeds contribute a modest amount of calcium, which supports bone health.
