About Sesame roll

Sesame rolls are a delightful treat often associated with East Asian, Middle Eastern, or Indian cuisines, depending on their specific preparation. These rolls are typically made with a combination of sesame seeds, which are either incorporated into a dough or used as a coating, and may contain fillings like red bean paste, meats, or vegetables. Sesame seeds are a rich source of healthy fats, protein, and dietary fiber, with a 100-gram serving providing approximately 573 calories, 17g of protein, and 49g of fat, primarily unsaturated. They are also packed with essential nutrients such as calcium, magnesium, and iron. Their mildly nutty flavor and energy-dense profile make them a favored component in many traditional foods worldwide.
