Sesame seeds are tiny, oil-rich seeds from the Sesamum indicum plant, cultivated for over 3,000 years. They are known for their nutty flavor and are packed with nutrients, including protein, fiber, healthy fats, calcium, B vitamins, and antioxidants. Sesame seeds can be consumed raw, added to meals, or used to produce sesame oil. They come in two forms: hulled (without the outer husk) and unhulled (with the husk intact), which affects their color and nutritional content.
