About Sesame seed roll
Sesame seed rolls, a staple in various culinary traditions, particularly Middle Eastern and Asian cuisines, are typically small bread rolls topped with toasted sesame seeds. Sesame seeds add a nutty flavor and texture, elevating the nutritional content. These rolls are rich in carbohydrates from the bread, while sesame seeds contribute healthy fats, fiber, and protein. Sesame seeds are also an excellent source of essential nutrients like calcium, magnesium, iron, phosphorus, and B vitamins such as thiamine. However, the rolls may vary in nutritional value depending on the base ingredients, with whole-grain options offering more fiber and micronutrients compared to those made with refined flour. Sesame seed rolls are an energy-dense option and can complement a balanced meal when eaten in moderation.
