Sesame Seeds

The paste made from black sesame seeds is known as black sesame. It's the same dark black color as the seeds. In Japanese, this paste is known as neri goma. Depending on where the sesame paste comes from, it might be salty or sweet. In Japanese cooking, for example, this paste is generally made with a sweetener and used in pastries and other sweet foods. "Sesame seeds have a delicious nutty flavor and are high in iron," Largeman-Roth says. According to the USDA, the seeds contain 1.31 mg of iron per tablespoon and a plethora of other critical elements, including copper. They're also high in phosphorus, vitamin E, and zinc.

Sprinkle the seeds on a salad for an easy method to include them in your diet: Each tablespoon adds over a milligram of iron to your daily total - and when you're aiming for 18 mg per day, every bit helps!
