Sesame Seed

Sesame seed is considered to be the oldest oilseed crop known to humanity. The seed is rich in calories, providing an excellent source of essential nutrients as part of the Daily Value. While containing high amounts of protein, dietary fiber, and total fat (mainly as linoleic acid and oleic acid), sesame seeds are also particularly rich in B vitamins and the dietary minerals manganese, magnesium, calcium, iron, and zinc (table).
