Regularly eating black sesame seeds could reduce oxidation in the body, improve blood pressure, and provide antioxidants and other plant chemicals that help fight cancer.
Black sesame seeds have a slightly stronger taste than white sesame seeds, which have a lighter flavor. Black and white sesame seeds may also have slightly different nutritional properties. A 2016 study found that black sesame seeds may have higher antioxidant activity than white sesame seeds.
Sesame seeds can be eaten raw, or they can be baked or toasted to bring out more of their natural nutty flavor.
