The Goodness in Sesame Seeds
Sesame seeds are tiny, but they are one of the richer plant foods for calcium and iron. Black sesame keeps its dark hull, and that hull is where much of the goodness sits.
Calcium in a small seed
Sesame is one of the richer plant sources of calcium, the mineral growing bones and teeth draw on.
Why black sesame stands out
Black sesame is the same seed with its dark hull left on. That coat holds more iron, calcium, and antioxidants than hulled white seeds, and it tastes deeper and toastier.
Fats that belong in the kitchen
Most of the fat in sesame is unsaturated. It is the useful kind, not a reason to skip the seed.
Toasted into the chikki
The seeds are toasted and bound with jaggery, so the minerals stay in the bite instead of being refined away.
Black sesame is not a different plant. It is sesame with the hull left on, which is the part worth keeping.
