Abstract
Sesame seeds have been grown in tropical regions throughout the world since pre-historic times. Sesame seeds look like tiny and simple pieces of nature. Sesame seeds seem to have originated in the Indian subcontinent. These nutty flavored and crunchy seeds of sesame have become a prominent cooking ingredient in different parts of the world. Sesamin and Sesamolin are two unique phytoconstituents present in these seeds, which help in correcting hypertension and hyperlipidemia. They serve as a good source of manganese, calcium, copper and vitamin B. Ayurveda recommends seed oil for body massage. The Sesame oil shows mildly laxative, emollient, hypolipidemic, anticancer, and hepato-protective actions. Sesame oil is incredibly popular for its nutritional antioxidant and medicinal properties.
