Black sesame seeds are small, flat, oil-rich seeds from the Sesamum indicum plant, known for their bold nutty flavor, deep color, and distinct aroma. Unlike white sesame seeds, black sesame seeds retain their outer hull, making them richer in fiber, antioxidants, and calcium.

These nutrient-dense seeds are widely used in Asian, Middle Eastern, and Indian cuisines and are gaining popularity in the health food industry. Their earthy, robust flavor makes them ideal for both sweet and savory dishes.

Traditionally considered a superfood, black sesame seeds are known in Ayurveda and Traditional Chinese Medicine for promoting longevity, hair health, and overall vitality.
