SESAME SEEDS

Sesame seeds are one of humanity's oldest oilseed crops, domesticated well over 5000 years ago. They're an important part of our diet because sesame seeds are high in nutrients and the oil extracted from sesame seeds plays a large role in Asian cuisine.
What are Sesame Seeds?
Sesame seeds are the tiny seeds we often see on hamburger buns. Interestingly, McDonald's purchases approximately 75% of Mexico's sesame seed crops to use on their sesame buns, which are eaten worldwide. Numerous varieties of sesame seeds exist, varying in size and colour, from tan to black, however the off-white colour is the most common variety.
Even though sesame seeds are small, they are a powerhouse of nutrition! Sesame seeds have one of highest oil contents of any seed and some varieties contain up to 50% oil content, compared to soybeans that contain only 20% oil content. Sesame oil is high in
vitamin E, a natural antioxidant that is very important for heart health. Sesame seeds are also high in
protein
and are about 25% protein by weight. While sesame seeds are good source of protein and fiber, they also are rich in essential minerals like copper,
calcium,
magnesium, manganese, iron,
selenium
and
zinc.
