Sesame Seeds (Til) — The Ancient Oil of Immortality

Sesame (Sesamum indicum) is one of the oldest oilseed crops cultivated by humanity — over 3,500 years of continuous use. In Ayurveda, sesame is classified as a Rasayana — a food that promotes longevity, vitality and resistance to disease.

The Calcium Revelation

Most people don't know that sesame seeds contain more calcium per gram than dairy milk:

This makes sesame seeds invaluable for vegetarians, vegans and lactose-intolerant individuals.

Complete Nutritional Profile (per 100g)

The Sesamin Advantage

Sesamin and sesamolin are unique lignans found only in sesame seeds. Clinical research confirms they: - Lower total cholesterol by 8-12% - Reduce LDL (bad) cholesterol by 10-15% - Reduce blood pressure by 4-6 mmHg - Extend the antioxidant activity of Vitamin E by 4-5 times - Have anti-cancer properties (inhibit cancer cell proliferation) - Improve liver function (protect against fatty liver)

6 Health Benefits

1. Bone Health The combination of calcium (98% DV), magnesium (83% DV) and phosphorus (90% DV) provides everything needed for bone matrix formation and density maintenance. Sesame seeds outperform dairy in terms of bone mineral contribution.

2. Blood Formation Iron (81% DV) and copper (456% DV) are both essential for haemoglobin synthesis. Copper facilitates iron absorption and is required for red blood cell maturation. This combination is more effective than iron supplements alone.

3. Thyroid and Hormone Regulation Zinc (71% DV) supports thyroid hormone synthesis and testosterone production in men. Sesamin lignans act as mild phytoestrogens in women.

4. Cholesterol Management Sesamin lignans are clinically proven to lower LDL cholesterol and prevent cholesterol oxidation — a key step in cardiovascular disease.

5. Anti-Cancer Properties Multiple in-vitro and animal studies show sesamin inhibits cancer cell proliferation. Human observational studies show sesame-consuming populations have lower rates of colorectal and breast cancers.

6. Joint Health Copper's role in collagen synthesis makes sesame seeds valuable for joint cartilage maintenance. Arthritis patients often show copper deficiency.
