Black and white sesame seeds are high in amino acid content. They contain essential fats like polyunsaturated, fatty acids, and several Omega-3 oils. It is incredibly nutritious with important minerals for daily needs. 1 oz or 28 grams of these toasted seeds contains approx. 25 % of the daily recommended amount for adults of calcium, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, copper, and manganese.
Adults and children need to make sure to eat foods higher in omega 3 fat daily. Some omega 3 rich foods include chia and flaxseeds, walnuts, and canola oil.
