Sesame milk is not the most popular plant-based milk, despite how easy it is to make. Almond milk, macadamia nut milk, and cashew milk tend to steal the spotlight in the non-dairy milk world. Sure, all of those nuts contain beneficial nutrients, but it doesn’t mean that they outshine the nutritional profiles of sesame seeds.
Sesame seeds are excellent sources of calcium, zinc, copper, iron, protein, magnesium, and heart healthy fats. They are small but mighty! Containing an assortment of anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, sesame seeds help to reduce free radical damage, regulate blood pressure, and reduce bad cholesterol. Finally, sesame seeds help promote collage production and boost the immune system. Drink this sesame milk to reap all of those nutritional benefits.
