Black Sesame Seeds
Black Sesame Seeds are small but mighty seeds loaded with vital nutrients and long-known for their Ayurvedic and culinary uses. These nutrient-dense seeds have a distinctive nutty flavor and are packed with calcium, iron, healthy fats, and antioxidants that promote vitality, skin health, and digestion. Their rich oil content also supports brain function and hair nourishment.
History
Black Sesame Seeds have been cultivated for thousands of years and are among the oldest oilseed crops known to humanity. Ancient Ayurvedic texts regard sesame as a rejuvenating herb, often prescribed for strength, longevity, and skin wellness. Historically revered in Egyptian, Chinese, and Indian cultures, sesame was considered sacred and used in both food and spiritual rituals.
