the call tahini sauce, a main ingredient in hummus, is my favorite way to include sesame seeds in the diet. A healthy, convenient and easy to use product for preparing vegetable creams and spreads with vegetables and legumes.
We can also choose sesame oil and sesame seeds to include in our daily life.† however, it is essential to crush the seeds until they are partially ground to take advantage of their properties, otherwise you must chew them well or the body will not absorb their nutrients.
We can take them with a variety of foods: with smoothies or yogurt, over salads or vegetables, mixed with creams…

Lactose free, low salt, sugar free, gluten free, egg free, dairy free, soy free. They help lower cholesterol by preventing cardiovascular disease, break down fats and cholesterol so that they dissolve in water and the body eliminates them, the proper functioning of tissues, strengthens teeth and bones. It also contains some fiber and improves digestive problems.
There is white sesame and black sesame† The properties are almost identical, only that black contains more antioxidants due to its color. White sesame, when it is very white, is definitely peeled and then it loses a lot of its nutrients. It is best to choose toasted sesame because that is how they release their fats.
