Organic sesame seeds
Sesame seeds are one of the oldest oilseeds, cultivated for more than 3000 years in Mesopotamia and India. Their nutty flavour and nutritional value made them prized in ancient Babylon, Egypt and China for both culinary and medicinal purposes. The seeds have been used for oil pressing, for flavouring dishes and for religious purposes. Today, they are still widely used around the world in baked goods, tahini paste and as a source of oil.
Unhulled sesame seeds can be a nutritious addition to everyday cooking, adding a subtle crunch and earthy flavour to dishes. Rich in fibre, calcium and healthy fats, these seeds can be sprinkled on salads, stirred into yoghurt, or added to baked goods such as bread or muffins.
When fried, sesame seeds intensify the flavour and make a tasty accompaniment to steamed vegetables, rice dishes or fried vegetables. Regular consumption of sesame seeds not only enriches the diet but also adds texture and flavour to everyday dishes.
A varied and balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle are important.
