Description:

As you can see from the calorie and nutrition label on this page, Sesame Seeds and Sesame oil contain very high amounts of an array of minerals that have been proven to have health promoting and fat burning properties.

In particular, Sesame Seeds are high in copper, which has been linked to reduction in arthritis pain. Consumption of foods rich in copper has also been linked to improved bone strength.

Sesame Seeds are also high in magnesium which has been linked to improved heart function.

Sesame Seeds are a staple of Japanese, Middle Eastern and African cuisine.

It is the primary ingredient in Tahini, which is a main ingredient in both Hummus and Baba Ghanoush.

Hummus is easy to make, and PEERtrainer has developed a recipe that will taste great:
