Description
Sesame seeds natural are tiny, flat oval seeds with a nutty flavor and crunchy texture. They are the seeds of the sesame plant and are a common ingredient in many cuisines around the world. Sesame seeds are used in both sweet and savory dishes and are often used as a garnish or topping.
Sesame seeds are a good source of healthy fats, protein, fiber, and several important minerals, including calcium, iron, and magnesium. They also contain antioxidants and have anti-inflammatory properties.
Sesame seeds natural can be eaten raw or roasted and are often used in baking or added to salads, stir-fries, and dips. They can also be ground into a paste called tahini, which is a key ingredient in hummus and other Middle Eastern dishes.
When purchasing sesame seeds, look for those that are uniform in color and not discolored or rancid. Store them in an airtight container in a cool, dry place to maintain freshness.
