Sesame Seeds

Sesame seeds have many potential health benefits. For instance, they may protect against heart disease, diabetes, and arthritis.

Sesame seeds are tiny, oil-rich seeds that grow in pods on the Sesamum indicum plant.

Sesame is a plant in the genus Sesamum, also called simsim, benne or gingelly. Numerous wild relatives occur in Africa and a smaller number in India. It is widely naturalized in tropical regions around the world and is cultivated for its edible seeds, which grow in pods.
