Sesame Seed

Benefits of the Sesame Seed

Sesame seeds have many potential health benefits and have been used in folk medicine for thousands of years. They help protect against heart disease, diabetes, and arthritis.

A 3-tablespoon (30-gram) serving of sesame seeds supplies 12% of the recommended daily intake for fiber, which is vital for your digestive health. They may also help reduce heart disease risk factors, including elevated triglyceride and “bad” LDL cholesterol levels.
