Sesame health includes lower cholesterol and blood pressure
from phytosterol.
A mega food for the ages, sesame seeds deliver a power-filled health punch and they taste good too.
Sesame seeds, a food full of phytosterol
Say that 10 times fast and you'll already feel better.
Full of copper, magnesium and calcium to help keep your joints, muscles and blood vessels healthy, sesame health also includes phytosterol, cholesterol's healthy cousin found in many plants and seeds, it steps in where cholesterol would normally go in your body, thus lowering your cholesterol count.
Sesame seeds are also packed with vitamin E, a powerful antioxidant that attacks the bad stuff in your body leaving it healthy and squeaky clean, and it's good for a shiny coat too.
How to eat sesame seeds
The seeds, toasted or not, the oil, tahini, halvah for dessert, it's good stuff, man.
I used to think sesame seeds were the thing on a fast-food bun, but I've been rediscovering them since my Korean wife brought home a bag.
Now I toss them in soups, on chicken, mix them with bread crumbs, salads. And not just the seeds, but sesame oil is great cooking.
Add just a little bit (the flavor is powerful) at the very end of cooking and you'll get a rich, sweet, almost buttery flavor.
Try toasting the seeds first, to bring out a richer, nuttier flavor.
