White Sesame

Sesame seeds contain sesamin and sesamolin, substances that are part of a group of fibers called lignans. Lignans render a cholesterol-lowering effect in humans. Sesamin also protects the liver from oxidative damage. Sesame seed is a good source of Vitamin E, that is why it can help strengthen the heart and the nervous system. Sesame oil can help remove wrinkles and other skin diseases when applied externally. A large amount of sesame seed can help in increasing weight because it is high in calories.
