Lack of calcium in the body will quite soon appear on impaired bone health, osteoporosis, but also other disorders of the body functioning. Although we usually associate dairy products with its source, we can also get it from sesame seeds.
Sesame seeds are often neglected as a rich source of calcium, so we should remember their meaning for the human body. Certainly it will not be unnecessary to buy their supply and learn to add them to food. It’s really worth it.
YouTub video from Growing in the Garden: also talks about sesame:
Thousands of years known seeds
Sesame seeds have been used for thousands of years as additions to various dishes, it is even one of the oldest spices in the world. As already mentioned, their indisputable positives also include a really high calcium content that helps maintain, so in the final effect and the whole skeleton. And this is certainly an effect that we should not miss.
More calcium than in milk
We can ask what this means “high content”. We can simply imagine that there is more in the same amount of sesame seeds of this mineral than in so much milk. Specifically, it is 1200 mg of calcium for every 100 grams. This makes him an excellent alternative for people who are struggling with some diseases, especially with lactose intolerance. It will also be happy to use it also for us who for any reason refuse animal food. It is always good to know that we have a choice.

Important elements for the body
In addition to calcium, sesame seeds are also rich in other important elements such as magnesium, phosphorus, zinc and more. These are also irreplaceable for the health of the support systems. In addition, magnesium plays a major role in the “creation” of vitamin D, which is then a key player in the competition, when the body tries to absorb from the diet as many times the calcium. It is then one of the basic components of bones and zinc promotes the formation of new bone cells. Thus, their combination is literally necessary for the body.
Sesame against cell aging
If everything we have already said about sesame seeds was still not enough, we can mention the neglected information about the so -called lignans. These bioactive compounds can also be found in them and can rely on their antioxidant and anti -inflammatory effects. Their struggle against free radicals in the body brings relief and even a younger appearance. In addition, these substances help reduce cholesterol levels, helping to keep the heart in a healthy rhythm.
Regularity pays off
It is therefore clear that it would be a great pity not to learn to consume sesame seeds. You do not have to eat them immediately in a handful, but you can improve the individual courses so that you often not even notice, but in other cases you upgrade the food one category higher. How to do it? Quite simply and naturally…
Breakfast with sesame
You can include this supersema in the first meal of the day, ie in breakfast. Sprinkle them in short yoghurt, smoothie, or add them to a bowl with muesli. Surprisingly, they are also good with blended banana and other fruit you love.
They will elevate every salad
Just as sesame fits very well into breakfast, it also proves itself as a tiny ornament and taste addition to vegetable salads, but also into the pasta. If you work with them a little more work, you can also slightly fry them in a pan in advance, which will highlight both their taste and smell. After all, you can also take a piece of ideally whole grain bread, sprinkled – the other – sesame seeds.
“Asia” can not do without sesame
They also know about the beneficial effect of this spice in Asia, where sesame is an integral part of a lot of recipes. So if you go to such a restaurant for lunch, you will surely meet it. The use of sesame seeds (this time mainly mixed) as a addition to sauces and marinades is not excluded. You do not have to worry about their treatment – whether thermal or mechanical. Just as we get the most. In the intact peel, they often go through the digestive tract almost “unnoticed” and this is really a pity due to their usefulness.
