Sesame Seeds

With their intense rich-roast flavour, sesame seeds provide an array of important minerals and are a good source of fibre.

Sprinkle over cereal, and add to bread, cakes and biscuits for flavour and texture.

Sesame seeds are excellent in savoury oriental dishes like Bang Bang Chicken.

• Have high levels of phytosterols (steroid compounds that occur in plants), which may reduce cholesterol when consumed as part of a heart-healthy eating plan.
