Rich in Antioxidants

Antioxidants are compounds that are crucial in preventing or reducing many forms of cell damage in your body. Oxidative stress is one form of cellular damage that antioxidants are thought to guard against. Numerous chronic diseases, such as diabetes, heart disease, and cancer, may be facilitated by long-term oxidative stress. Antioxidants can be found in some foods more effectively than others. Some of the greatest sources are whole grains, nuts, fruits, and vegetables.

Sesame seeds appear to be a particularly high source of antioxidants and beneficial plant compounds, while other sesame seeds also contain these substances. Additionally, it seems that sprouted black sesame seeds may have even higher concentrations of several antioxidants than unsprouted seeds.
