I am passing through a black sesame seed phase! Well actually I hope it's not a phase cause have you seen the benefits of these black beauties! So much goodness!
It is slightly nuttier and fully flavored than its commonly known tanned counterparts. Great to toast or as is or add a color accent to rice, vegetables and salads like I have done.
But wait, listen here! It's high in calcium, protein (I know, protein!), phosphorous, iron, magnesium, zinc, methyonine, omega 6 & 3!
These little seeds can also be used to treat constipation and promote regular bowel movements.
Now you can see why I am finding all the possible ways to add these to my dishes!! Kind of wish I had discovered them earlier!
If you have any recipes or ideas on how to use black sesame seeds I would love hear from you!
