Sesame seeds are rich in calcium and high-quality protein and have excellent antioxidant power. This product, which is made by boiling black sesame seeds for a long time, is packed with the nutrition of black sesame seeds, just like the idea of "one thing" where you eat the whole ingredient.
Sesame seeds are rich in calcium and protein, which far exceed those of brown rice, which are fully nutritious foods, as well as sesame lignans, vitamin E, and unsaturated fatty acids, which have strong antioxidant power, making them an excellent nutritional food. On the other hand, oil is easily oxidized, and it is actually difficult to get only the high-quality nutrients of sesame seeds into the body.
At Shokuken, we paid attention to these characteristics of sesame seeds, and by boiling sesame seeds for a long time, we achieved both nutrient absorption and resistance to oxidation.
Sesame seeds contain about 130 times more calcium and about 3 times more protein than brown rice. In addition, "sesame lignan", which is a type of polyphenol ingredient and is only found in sesame seeds, is known for its high antioxidant power. In addition, the "black" of black sesame seeds contains anthocyanins, which are polyphenolic components that are phytochemicals.
Sesame seeds are rich in nutrients, but half of the components of sesame seeds are oil, and oxidation begins when they are roasted over fire. Therefore, by simmering the sesame seeds for a long time without stir-frying them, we have reduced oxidation by 1/7 compared to roasted sesame seeds.
While maintaining the excellent nutritional content of sesame seeds, "boiled black sesame seeds" overcomes the easy oxidation of sesame seeds, which is also a weakness of sesame seeds, and is easy to incorporate into your diet. Like regular sesame seeds, they can be eaten as they are and can be applied to cooking and sweets, so you can easily benefit from the superfood "sesame" in your daily diet.
