Hulled Sesame Seeds

Absolute Organic Raw Sesame Seeds are packed with nutrients such as healthy fats, protein, calcium, antioxidants and dietary fibre. The primary fats in sesame seeds are monounsaturated fatty acids or Oleic acid which has been shown to lower LDL (bad) cholesterol and increase HDL (good) cholesterol. Sesame seeds are also a good source of essential minerals such as calcium, iron, manganese, zinc, magnesium, selenium and copper.

Use raw sesame seeds to add crunch and flavour to salads, vegetable or bean dishes, or roast and crush sesame seeds and sprinkle over food for added flavour.
