Black sesame seeds are small, flat, oily seeds that grow in the fruit pods of the Sesamum indicum plant, which has been cultivated for thousands of years. Sesame seeds grow in a variety of colors, including shades of black, brown, tan, gray, gold, and white. Black sesame seeds are primarily produced in Asia, although they’re quickly gaining popularity around the world. This rise in popularity could be due to the belief that black sesame seeds are better for your health. Black sesame seeds are an especially rich source of macrominerals and trace minerals. Your body requires trace minerals only in small amounts, while macrominerals are required in larger quantities. A higher intake of macrominerals like calcium and magnesium is associated with improved heart health.
