Episode Details

Black sesame seeds are gaining popularity due to their rich color and nutty flavor, with claims of health benefits like blood sugar control and heart disease risk reduction. However, experts suggest the hype may outpace the science. Black sesame seeds are more nutritious than white, containing more fat, protein, carbs, vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and lignans. They can be used in various dishes, but may also contain anti-nutrients that can block mineral absorption. Recent studies show small health improvements with daily doses, but the evidence is low quality. Sprinkle sesame seeds on meals for flavor, but dont expect significant health transformations in small amounts.
