Despite their tiny size, sesame seeds contain up to 20% protein and lots of fiber.
They are rich in the amino acids tryptophan and methionine. Sesame oil is a good choice for salad dressings as it is rich in linoleic and oleic acids, which have a cholesterol-lowering effect.
Tahini (ground sesame seeds) is a main ingredient in hummus, and can also serve as a nut-free substitute for those with food allergies.
Sprinkle sesame seeds on salads or stir-fry dishes for an added crunch.
