Sesame

Sesame seeds are a kitchen commodity in many households, but did you know that they are a powerhouse of minerals and are a common ingredient in traditional and holistic medicine? These tiny nut-flavored seeds are not only tasty, but rich in essential minerals, such as calcium, copper, magnesium, and zinc. They also contain antioxidants, fiber, protein and are rich in vitamin B complexes. Sesame seeds are great for the skin and hair and can even be used in cosmetic products to restore hair strength and leave your skin glowing. The rich calcium content also help strengthen bones and can help prevent osteoporosis later in life. Along with their mineral content, the omega 3 fatty acids in seeds are great for improving energy levels, while aiding digestion. Plus, you can enjoy all of the benefits of sesame seeds by adding them to your favorite recipes, taking supplements, or adding sesame oil to your routine.
