Black sesame seeds are rich in amino acids and trace elements, and there are various ways to consume them, such as eating them roasted, grinding them into powder, adding them to soups, or cooking them into porridge, all of which are effective.
1. Grinding into powder: For individuals whose digestive function is not particularly strong, it is recommended to consume black sesame seeds in powder form. This method avoids potential digestive discomfort caused by the sesame seed husks and facilitates better absorption of nutrients.
2. Roasting: Roasted black sesame seeds are easier to digest and absorb, and they also offer better flavor. Black sesame seeds contain large amounts of vitamin E, vitamin C, various trace elements, and protein. Regular consumption of roasted black sesame seeds can help nourish the liver and kidneys.
3. Making soup: Black sesame seeds can be appropriately added when preparing soups. They contain unsaturated fatty acids, which can help calm the nerves and lower blood pressure.
4. Cooking porridge: Black sesame seeds can be used to cook porridge. For example, black sesame seeds can be cooked together with an appropriate amount of rice to make porridge, or combined with other ingredients such as sugar or mulberries to make a black sesame paste.
