The efficacy and function of white sesame

Many people know that sesame is very helpful for health care. In traditional Chinese medicine, sesame is sweet in taste and neutral in nature. It has magical effects of nourishing blood, dispelling wind, promoting lactation, and anti-aging. Can it be used to treat a series of chronic disease symptoms such as physical weakness, dizziness with tinnitus, moderate hypertension, varying degrees of high blood lipids, etc.? Let's follow the experts to see the specific effects and functions of sesame:

There are two kinds of sesame seeds, black and white. If we want to eat them, white sesame seeds should be the main choice. Black sesame seeds are better for replenishing qi and blood. Sesame is not only edible but also can be used as oil. Tao Hongjing, an ancient health practitioner, evaluated it as "among the eight grains, only this is the best." On ordinary days, people mostly eat sesame products: sesame paste and sesame oil.

However, eating whole sesame seeds is not very scientific, because there is a slightly hard membrane on the outside of the sesame kernel. Only by crushing it can the nutrients in it be absorbed. Therefore, after frying the whole sesame seeds, it is best to crush them in a food processor or grind them with a small stone mill before eating.
