Sesame seeds can seem like a bland culinary addition to a bagel, but there are some very interesting facts about sesame seeds. Few are listed below:

1. EXCELLENT SOURCE OF NUTRIENTS

A quarter cup of sesame seeds provides 73.5% copper, 44.5% manganese, and 35.1% calcium of RDA (recommended daily allowance), and good quantities of phosphorous, zinc, and selenium.

2. SPECIAL FIBERS

You know that fiber is good for you, but did you know that sesame seeds have two special fibers called sesamin and sesamolin? These fibers are part of a group of fibers called lignans, and they have several important health benefits.

3. PHYTOSTEROLS

Phytosterols lower blood cholesterol levels, increase immune responses, and decrease the risk for certain cancers.

4. CULINARY USES

Sesame seeds have long been used to make sesame oil, in part because the oil is very resistant to rancidity. They are also used to make tahini, which is essentially sesame seed butter. Tahini is a very delicious condiment that is used in hummus. Sesame seeds also find their way onto baked goods.
