Description
Sesame seeds are small, flat seeds that come in a variety of colors, including black, brown, and white. Each type of sesame seed has its own unique flavor and nutritional profile.
Black sesame seeds have a rich, nutty flavor and are often used in East Asian cuisine, particularly in desserts and baked goods. They are also a good source of calcium, iron, and Free-radical scavengers.
Brown sesame seeds have a slightly milder flavor than black sesame seeds and are often used in Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cuisine. They are a good source of protein, fiber, and healthy fats.
White sesame seeds have a mild, slightly sweet flavor and are the most commonly used variety of sesame seeds in cooking. They are a good source of minerals such as copper, magnesium, and manganese.
All types of sesame seeds are a rich source of nutrients, including healthy fats, fiber, protein, and various minerals and vitamins. They can be used in a variety of ways, such as sprinkled on top of salads, added to stir-fries or baked goods, or ground into a paste to make tahini, a popular ingredient in hummus and other Middle Eastern dips.
They should be stored in an airtight container in a cool, dry place to prevent them from becoming rancid.
