Sesame seeds might be small, but they pack a punch when it comes to flavor, nutrition, and versatility. These tiny seeds have been cultivated for thousands of years, adding a nutty crunch and distinct aroma to cuisines around the world. From tahini, a staple in Middle Eastern cuisine, to goma-ae, a Japanese sesame seed dressing, these seeds are a global culinary treasure.

But sesame seeds are more than just a tasty ingredient. They are a nutritional powerhouse, rich in essential minerals like calcium, iron, and magnesium, as well as healthy fats, fiber, and antioxidants. Sesame seeds have been linked to various health benefits, including improved heart health, reduced inflammation, and better blood sugar control. 

In recent years, sesame allergies have become a growing concern, prompting increased regulation in the food industry. In the UK and EU, sesame is now recognized as a major allergen and must be clearly labeled on food products. As a responsible trader, SFI Agri Commodities is committed to adhering to these regulations and ensuring the safety and transparency of our sesame seed products.
