Sesame seeds are tiny, flat seeds derived from the sesame plant (Sesamum indicum), which is native to Africa and India. These seeds are widely cultivated and prized for their rich, nutty flavor and high nutritional content.

Sesame seeds come in various colors, including white, black, and brown, with white sesame seeds being the most common variety. They are rich in healthy fats, protein, fiber, vitamins (such as B vitamins and vitamin E), minerals (including calcium, iron, magnesium, and zinc), and antioxidants.
