Sesame is divided into black sesame and white sesame, both of which are very nutritious and healthy ingredients. Although there is a word difference between black sesame and white sesame, there are still many differences between them, not only in color, but also in nutritional composition, so today we will share which one is better:

In fact, the nutritional value of sesame is not low. In the famous medical book Shennong's Classic of Materia Medica, it is mentioned that sesame can supplement the five internal organs, replenish strength, grow muscles, fill the brain marrow, and be intellectual and fit for a long time. Sesame has the functions of nourishing five internal organs, growing muscles, resisting aging and prolonging life.

However, the high calorie of black sesame is also included behind this function. It can be seen from the table of food nutrients that the energy per100g of black sesame is as high as 2 188kg, protein 16.5g, fat 33.9g and carbohydrate 38.4g. Calories are high. If you eat like this every day, you will gain weight quickly.

In addition, due to the misunderstanding of black sesame's long black hair, some people eat a lot of black sesame, which may increase the adverse reactions of scalp due to excessive fat accumulation, such as hair oil, seborrheic dermatitis and acne. Therefore, we also need to eat a proper amount of food. The best way is to eat a little every day. Because sesame contains more anthocyanins, polyphenols, unsaturated fatty acids, antioxidant, anti-aging, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular health protection and other beneficial effects.

But there are black and white sesame seeds on the market, which one should I choose? How should I eat raw and cooked? In choosing the color of black sesame, the nutritional value of black sesame is slightly higher than that of white sesame, because black sesame contains more anthocyanins and has strong antioxidant effect. Especially, some people steam rice with black sesame seeds, and you will find that rice may change color. Water-soluble anthocyanins are dissolved in water, and the mineral content of black sesame seeds is slightly higher than that of white sesame seeds. I suggest you eat black sesame seeds because they are similar in taste, delicious and healthy.

For eating raw black sesame seeds or cooked black sesame seeds, it is suggested that the latter, especially the stomach is not good and indigestion is easy. Cooked black sesame seeds are helpful for digestion and absorption of the stomach. Because of its hard tissue, the nutrients are fully released after processing, and the health effect is good. On the contrary, eating raw food may cause bloating, diarrhea and indigestion. In contrast, cooked food will have more benefits.
