Instruction manual

If you purchased sesame in a shell, then first you need to peel it. To do this, take the seeds in small handfuls, rub between your palms and transfer to a separate bowl.
2
Rinse the seeds in running water, after pouring it into a sieve.
3
Pour the peeled and washed sesame seeds into a dry frying pan.
4
Toast the seeds over moderate heat until they begin to bounce. Stir them with a wooden spatula during frying so that they do not burn.

Add fried sesame seeds to salad, to pastries (in cookies, rolls, pies), vegetable dishes; make a breading out of it for meat or fish; make the sauce. If you want to give cooked dishes a brighter flavor, choose dark sesame seeds. Use white sesame to decorate baked goods and bread.

Sesame seeds contain a powerful antioxidant - sesamine. Use sesame to lower blood cholesterol, as well as to prevent cancer.
Increase the amount of sesame used if you want to strengthen your bones: sesame is not inferior to calcium such as milk or hard cheese in terms of calcium content. If your body lacks calcium (a sign of this is that you are constantly drawn to sweets), soak sesame seeds in a glass of water and drink this drink (it is also called sesame milk) 1 time per day.
Include more sesame in the diet to cleanse the body and remove harmful substances from it.
Eat sesame seeds to maintain youthfulness, which is facilitated by the vitamin E contained in the seeds.
