This part of the seed contains a lot of fiber. In practice, this means that the white variety will simply contain less than the unrefined variety. Although both varieties have a characteristic nutty aroma and bittersweet flavor, the white variety is more delicate and has slightly less protein and the aforementioned fiber. Indian sesame is an annual oilseed plant. It reaches up to 1.5 meters in height. It is cultivated primarily in India and China, but also in South and Central America, in Mexico and Guatemala. It is an indispensable ingredient in halva and sesame snaps. The use of sesame seeds, both light and dark, and sesame oil are an integral part of Oriental and Arabic cuisine. Not just halva. What can you add white Indian sesame seeds to? How can you use hulled sesame seeds? There are many possibilities. The properties of these seeds allow you to obtain a delicious oil full of unsaturated fats. Sesame seeds are a great addition to both sweet and savory dishes. They are also essential for preparing the signature dish of Arabic cuisine, hummus – a nutritious chickpea paste. Another very popular product made from sesame seeds is tahini paste. This ingredient is often used in many Middle Eastern dishes. White sesame is also the basis for making halva – a sweet caramel-sesame paste, a delicacy and a type of dessert associated with Turkish cuisine. White sesame is also an excellent addition to salads and breads. How to make tahini paste from sesame seeds? Making tahini paste yourself is possible and straightforward. However, it requires a suitable food processor. The process is incredibly simple – simply grind the sesame seeds in the food processor, and you're done.

Health Benefits of Hulled Sesame Are you looking for a product high in fat and protein? Then sesame will be a hit. Choose sesame from India, and you will be pleasantly surprised by its valuable properties! Each seed is 20% protein. This is one reason why sesame is especially recommended for vegan and vegetarian diets as a supplement to plant-based protein. If you don't have meat products on your menu, it will help you fill any gaps (sesame contains over 14 mg of iron per 100 g of product). Furthermore, sesame seeds also contain other nutritional benefits – vitamins and minerals (particularly high in vitamin E and iron). The presence of sesamol and sesamolin is also noteworthy. These two substances are natural antioxidants that exhibit anti-cancer properties and prevent inflammation in the body. Thanks to them, the seeds of this oil plant are resistant to rancidity, which is the oxidation of fatty acids. This is a completely natural process, but it ensures that the sesame oil will remain edible for longer. The lack of worries about spoilage allows for the purchase of larger, more economical packages and their long-term storage. Unsaturated Fatty Acids in Sesame 100 grams of hulled sesame seeds contain 7.8 grams of unsaturated fatty acids: omega-3, omega-6, and omega-9. What are the benefits of consuming these healthy fats? These substances primarily strengthen the heart and positively impact the circulatory system. They also maintain healthy lipid levels and lower bad LDL cholesterol. Contrary to popular belief, they don't accumulate as fat. Quite the opposite – they contribute to fat burning. Sesame supports intestinal function Sesame is high in dietary fiber. Its amount may vary depending on the variety. Black, unhulled sesame seeds contain more fiber, but white sesame seeds will also support digestive processes.

Adding sesame seeds to your meals can help combat constipation and keep you feeling full for longer. Just a tablespoon of the seeds a day will make a beneficial difference.

Shelled and unshelled sesame - what are the differences between these sesame seeds? They're almost the same thing! Sesame is an oil plant. Black sesame seeds are seeds with the shell, unrefined. White seeds, on the other hand, are the shelled variety - without the shell. This also accounts for the differences in nutritional value between the two versions. Black sesame has more fiber! In both cases, however, we're still talking about a high content of healthy fats, protein, vitamins, and minerals. So which one should you choose? It's best to have both on hand in the kitchen and use them depending on the recipe. It's worth doing this because using them alternately (or together) allows for greater variety and flexibility—it will lead you straight to better health! Is sesame fattening? Keep in mind that the very high calorie count of sesame seeds puts this product among the most calorie-dense spices! 100g of sesame seeds contains almost 600 calories. A similar value is found in... 100g of mayonnaise. It's safe to conclude that this product isn't best for those on a diet. However, it's worth considering its health benefits: it supports the vascular system and is beneficial for hair. Sesame is also a remedy for a wet cough. Its use improves memory, lowers blood pressure, and provides essential minerals (copper, manganese, magnesium, selenium, potassium, phosphorus). Hulled sesame is a good source of calcium (over 900 mg per 100 g of product) = health on a plate! Despite its high caloric value, there's no point in worrying about it entirely. As a supplement, sesame is used in small amounts, and therefore its potential impact on weight gain is negligible, or even negligible. Can our bodies digest sesame? Whole sesame seeds are poorly digested by humans and are often excreted unchanged. To improve absorption and fully benefit from their nutrients, the best solution is to grind the seeds or eat them after roasting. These mechanical and thermal processing methods change its structure, allowing its beneficial components to more easily penetrate the human body. How to roast white sesame seeds? How is roasted sesame made? Roasting sesame seeds is neither difficult nor time-consuming. The harder the roast, the better. The shorter the roasting time, the less valuable nutrients are lost. Wait until you notice the unique aroma. Also, keep an eye on the seeds and remove the container from the heat before they begin to brown. Properly roasting sesame seeds ensures that the product has a virtually unchanged composition. And their wide use in your kitchen will have a positive effect on the digestive system, provide valuable minerals, and enrich all diets (meat and meatless). Sesame Seeds - Price In terms of price, the shelled variety will be more expensive. Processing to remove the shells is additional work and expense, which is then reflected in the higher price of the raw material. There's also the issue of the quality of sesame seeds. It's worth paying attention to their expiration dates. Due to the high fat content, these may be shorter than usual. At the same time, we strive to offer attractive and low prices while maintaining quality.
