Sementes de gergelim

Sesame seeds are the small seeds of the sesame plant. The data here cover seeds with and without their outer hulls. They mainly provide fat and protein, with minerals including calcium and magnesium. Per 100g, they contain 58g of fat, 18g of protein and 670mg of calcium, and provide 2470 kJ of energy.

Protein supports the growth and repair of body tissues, while calcium helps maintain bones and teeth and supports normal muscle function. Sesame seeds are concentrated sources of energy, which is worth noting for people monitoring energy intake. Their fat includes both unsaturated and saturated fats. Sesame is also a food allergen.
