White Sesame Seeds are tiny, flat, ivory-colored seeds that carry a rich nutty flavor and numerous health-promoting nutrients. Packed with calcium, fiber, and heart-healthy fats, these seeds are ideal for supporting bone strength, improving digestion, and boosting immunity. Their mild flavor makes them perfect for culinary uses in both sweet and savory dishes.
At Farm Ayurveda, our White Sesame Seeds are naturally grown and harvested without chemicals to preserve their nutritional integrity. Incorporating them into your daily routine is a simple way to add plant-based protein, vitamins, and essential minerals to your diet.
White Sesame Seeds have been cultivated since ancient times, particularly in India, China, and the Middle East. Referred to as “Til” in Ayurveda, they were highly valued in rituals, traditional medicine, and cooking. Ancient Ayurvedic scriptures mention sesame as one of the most powerful seeds for enhancing ojas (vital energy), nourishing tissues, and improving reproductive health.
