Contribution of plant proteins

Black sesame has a significant source of dietary protein but it is important to note that by consuming solely plant-based proteins, it is sometimes necessary to supplement them with other foods to enrich the diet and meet the demand of amino acids per day.

Another good option to include sesame in your daily diet is a paste prepared from the seeds. This paste has been consumed for hundreds of years in the Arab region and is called 'tahina' or 'tahini': It is very easy to prepare and allows us to increase our consumption of this wonderful seed. Here we will tell you how it's done:

Tahini: Sesame Pasta
