    • ANTIOXIDANT PROPERTIES: Sesame seeds contain antioxidants, such as sesaminol and sesamolin, which help neutralize free radicals, protecting cells from oxidative stress and reducing the risk of chronic diseases.

    • BLOOD SUGAR REGULATION: The combination of fiber and protein in sesame seeds helps regulate blood sugar levels by slowing down the absorption of carbohydrates.

    • SKIN AND HAIR HEALTH: Sesame seeds are rich in vitamin E, which promotes skin health by protecting against UV damage and reducing signs of aging. They also support hair health and growth.

    • DIGESTIVE HEALTH: The fiber content in sesame seeds promotes digestive regularity and supports gut health.
