Sesame flour is created from whole seeds or sesame cake, which remains after pressing the oil. Due to the fact that the powder does not contain gluten, this option is excellent for allergy sufferers who want to lose weight.

The taste of the preparation is similar to a nut mixture, and in terms of the chemical composition it includes 40% vegetable. Eastern chefs prefer to mix it with almond and coconut analogues to make the baked goods truly aromatic. The most popular dish based on this ingredient is tahini, one of the most popular dishes for lovers of oriental cuisine.

Magic composition

The beneficial properties of the mixture include many, as well as vitamins. The dominant place is occupied by the plant, which is responsible for the rapid restoration and growth of tissues damaged in various ways. When there is enough of this amino acid, the healing of ulcers formed on the mucous membranes of the gastrointestinal tract occurs much faster.

An additional advantage of histidine is the blocking of inflammatory processes, as well as the development of atherosclerotic plaques deposited on blood vessels. At the same time, the element has antiallergic and vasodilating effects.

And by stabilizing the synthesis of hemoglobin and peptides in the muscles, it is possible to improve the digestion process. A minor “side effect” that has a positive side is increased sexual activity.

Another lifesaver is considered to have a positive effect on muscle growth. This is highly valued among professional athletes, as well as those who want to strengthen their muscle corset. The hidden advantage of arginine is its participation in hormonal synthesis and improvement of potency.

The third advantage can be safely called, which is also called the hormone of happiness. With its help, you can reduce the frequency of headaches that are caused by being under constant stress. A person in whose body this amino acid is present in sufficient quantities will not experience any difficulty falling asleep.

The properties of tryptophan are not limited to the above, extending to a positive effect in terms of assistance in the processes of hematopoiesis, energy, and protein metabolism.

With its help, other important components of the body are successfully processed:

• growth hormones;
• insulin;

Moreover, it is absolutely not necessary to eat raw materials. It is allowed to be added to cookies or other goodies created according to the principles of proper nutrition.

Vitamin accent

Such an assistant will be suitable for those who cannot choose the daily requirement from the usual products on the table. There is enough here to cover the daily requirement. This element has several areas of work:

• anti-inflammatory;
• stabilization of the reproductive system;
• improving the condition of the skin;
• positive effect on muscle function.

• atherosclerosis;
• arterial hypertension;
• thrombosis;
• varicose veins;
• diabetic angiopathy;
• Alzheimer's disease;
• diabetes mellitus

The composition does not include B vitamins, which are responsible for the condition of the skin, hair, and nails. They also contribute to stable hematopoiesis and the production of sex hormones in sufficient quantities. Some believe that such hormones affect only reproductive function, but their influence extends to other systems:

• nervous;
• muscular;
• digestive;
• cardiovascular;
• endocrine.

The hidden diamond of flour is vitamin T, which is responsible for blood clotting and the creation of platelets. With the help of this protector, it becomes easier to avoid the risks of contracting hemophilia or hemorrhagic diathesis.

The final link is, without which the circulatory system will not be able to function normally.

All other benefits revolve around microelements and, which include:

• calcium;
• phosphorus;

Without calcium, it will not be possible to achieve a satisfactory state of health of bones, teeth, and cartilage. In terms of the content of this component, the sesame representative was surpassed only by poppy seeds.

Thanks to a sufficient amount of zinc, the body is able to maintain a consistently high concentration during brain activity. It also acts as a significant aid for the stable functioning of the musculoskeletal system. Due to the fact that few products contain it in sufficient quantities, gynecologists have to prescribe it separately for pregnant women for normal embryo development.

But if you know how to take natural zinc, then no problems will arise. It will have a positive effect on protein, fat, and carbohydrate metabolism, and will also support the immune system in the fight against various diseases.

Magnesium will ensure that those who know how to use natural vitamin storage are less likely to suffer in their declining years:

• atherosclerosis;
• diabetes mellitus;
• urolithiasis;
• ailments of the prostate gland.

But even without these components, the powder boasts other useful elements. We are also talking about coarse fiber. They guarantee the normalization of intestinal microflora, activating the peristalsis of the intestines and stomach. It’s not for nothing that recipes for cooking from such flour can often be found in instructions for general cleansing of the body.

Fiber allows you to quickly remove toxins, heavy metal salts, and other waste that have accumulated over the years. Just to achieve the desired result you will have to be patient, since restorative therapy requires quite a long period of use.

• thrombophlebitis;
• thrombosis.

According to some sources, varicose veins are included here, which among traditional healers has the opposite meaning - an indication. With such a disease, it is better to undergo additional examination, reminding your doctor about it.

Rules of use

Despite the fact that some craftsmen use sesame base for cosmetic procedures, because it makes a good face mask, most often it finds application in cooking.

The simplest use is considered to be breading, which is ideal for:

As a result, the dish acquires a spicy, nutty aftertaste that cannot be achieved even with synthetic spices.

Housewives add this relative novelty to the dough for pancakes and pancakes. The wheat component is taken as the basis, and the more expensive analogue acts as a refined flavoring agent, as well as a guardian of a healthy diet.

But if you don’t want to bother with this at all, you can simply use a hand-made mixture to thicken:

• sauce;
• gravy;

This supplement will appeal to those with a sweet tooth who cannot imagine their life without exotic halva with coconut flakes. If sweets are contraindicated for the patient, then this valuable addition can simply be poured into porridge, sprinkled on, or added to yoghurt energy shakes that athletes drink. And those on a diet manage to mix it with salads, and even create almost classic baked goods from it.

Kids will love the nutritious spread on toast, which includes a sesame base with their usual jam, marmalade, and syrup.

The only caution here is to avoid consuming too much of the mixture. Two tablespoons is the daily dosage for adults. You should not exceed it, so as not to incur problems with indigestion.

Fragrant halva

Some people believe that the presented nutritional composition is only suitable for tahini - filling for pies, draft sweets, hummus. But this is an erroneous opinion, because even with an upset stomach, ancient doctors resorted to using a mixture of honey, such flour and. You had to drink a little of the product all day to bring your body back to normal. Even external hemorrhoids were treated with mealy decoctions.

And to this day, a recipe for delicious halva has been preserved, providing the following instructions:

2. Pour the appropriate (by eye) amount of sesame powder into the finished paste, grinding again, but with the addition of honey.
3. The semi-finished product is formed into a bar, which is sent to the refrigerator.

After a few hours, the delicacy can already be tasted. After the gourmet gets the hang of the basic recipe, you can start experimenting with fresh fruits and coconut flakes.

Unusual baked goods

It’s just as easy to bake your own braided bread with a combined flour base. To prepare it you will need the following ingredients:

• 400 g;
• 100 g sesame seeds;
• 125 ml refined sesame oil;
• 1 tbsp. l. unrefined sesame oil;
• 250 ml warm (a little more for greasing);
• 1 glass;
• 2 eggs;
• 2 tbsp. l. black sesame seeds and a little for decoration;
• 11 g dry.

First you need to combine both main ingredients. After thorough mixing, you can add yeast, a tablespoon, and two tablespoons of flour mixture into the milk. Everything is mixed and left at rest for fifteen minutes.

For the dough, the remaining ingredients are added and the dough is kneaded. It is important to avoid a common mistake here: if the dough seems sticky, this is not a reason to add more flour.

The container with the dough is wrapped in cling film, remaining undisturbed until the volume doubles. As soon as this happens, the dough is laid out on a floured board, kneaded, and divided into three equal parts. They are folded into bundles to form sausages, and then placed on baking paper placed on a baking sheet.

Later, all that remains is to form a direct braid by braiding the braid. It is important to secure the ends of the bundles well. The workpiece is covered with a towel for about half an hour (sometimes a little more). The oven is heated at maximum temperature. While it turns on, the workpiece is lubricated with oil, sprinkled on top.

Sprinkle half a glass of water on the bottom of the oven, and then reduce the temperature to 180 degrees, sending the baked goods inside. Cooking time is usually about 45 minutes, after which you need to cool the braid. And you can eat.

You can also partially replace traditional flour with an unusual analogue in ordinary recipes, doing everything the old fashioned way, but with an interesting aftertaste.

About sesame flour

Sesame is a herbaceous plant of the Pedaliaceae family, there are both annual and perennial species... But its Latin name is Sesamum. Very often sesame is called sesame. This plant is very thermophilic, so it grows mainly in the subtropics and tropics. Sesame is a very ancient plant, and it is impossible to accurately determine its homeland. Some scientists believe that these are the southwestern regions of the African continent, others believe that these are India. But it has been absolutely established that sesame was among the first plants that man began to cultivate.

The fruit of this plant is an elongated tetrahedral capsule, pressed tightly against the stem. When ripe, the box opens at the slightest touch, opening access to the treasure - the seeds. Sesame seeds, depending on the variety, are pearly white, golden yellow, reddish brown and even almost black, with dark-colored varieties being more fragrant.

Already one and a half millennia BC, sesame was known to the Egyptians. They successfully used sesame seeds as medicine. Since ancient times, in the East it was believed that sesame not only lifts the spirit, but also prolongs life. Modern science has proven the usefulness of sesame for literally the entire human body.

Sesame seeds contain a significant amount of fatty oil, 50-60%. It is logical that since ancient times they have been used to make sesame oil, which is not inferior in value to other vegetable oils. Sesame seeds are used in the production of various, mainly oriental sweets: sesame halva, kozinaki, etc. They are used as a spice, sauces and even wine are made from them. Among other things, sesame is used to make a valuable product - flour. This is what we will talk about later.

Sesame flour will add not only benefits to dishes, but also a pleasant nutty aroma and taste. This will help make any food more unusual and original.

Much has already been said about the benefits of sesame flour. What is it?

Benefits of sesame flour (briefly)

This product borrows all its beneficial qualities from sesame seeds. And they are very rich in amino acids, minerals and vitamins.

Contains many essential and non-essential amino acids. When we say “essential,” we mean that the human body cannot independently synthesize these substances.

The first amino acid found in flour in appreciable quantities is tryptophan. Once in the body, this element is synthesized into serotonin. You may know that it is also called the “happiness hormone.” With a lack of this element in the body, depression develops. But when there is enough serotonin, a person is not in danger of an apathetic state, headaches and insomnia.

Tryptophan is also responsible for the production of insulin, energy and protein metabolism, as well as the process of hematopoiesis.

The next amino acid contained in sesame flour is arginine. Bodybuilders know that amino acids are needed to build muscle mass. It is precisely this function that arginine is responsible for. It is also very important for the functioning of the reproductive system, or more precisely, for erectile function. Arginine is needed for the synthesis of insulin.

A sufficient amount of this amino acid in the body prevents fatty liver degeneration, the formation of atherosclerotic plaques and thrombosis. This element also helps normalize blood pressure.

Sesame flour contains another amino acid – histidine. This element helps restore damaged body tissues. Arginine is also able to protect a person from radiation and remove toxins.

This amino acid will be useful for people suffering from ulcers of the mucous membranes. Histidine accelerates their healing. With sufficient content of this element in the body, the risk of developing atherosclerosis is reduced. Histidine is needed for hemoglobin synthesis, sexual activity and normal digestion.

Contains quite a lot of different minerals.

This product is rich in calcium, which is beneficial for the health of cartilage, bones, and teeth.

Zinc from sesame flour is needed for the proper functioning of the male reproductive system. This element is responsible for erection and spermatogenesis. Zinc is also needed for brain and musculoskeletal function.

A sufficient amount of magnesium in the body reduces the likelihood of developing diseases such as diabetes, urolithiasis and atherosclerosis. And there is quite a lot of this element in sesame flour.

It also contains selenium, a powerful antioxidant. It has the ability to strengthen the immune system.

Another strong antioxidant is vitamin E. In addition to strengthening the immune system, it can also slow down the aging process. Vitamin E helps rejuvenate the body.

It moisturizes the skin and has a positive effect on the functioning of the muscular system. This element is necessary for the prevention of diabetes and varicose veins, hypertension and thrombosis, atherosclerosis and other heart ailments.

Sesame flour also contains vitamin D, the properties of which include improving the functioning of the circulatory system. In addition, it helps the body absorb calcium and phosphorus. Flour contains these elements in noticeable quantities. Therefore, its use will be very useful for people who have problems with joints and bones.

It contains a whole group of B vitamins. Without it, normal functioning of the endocrine and digestive, muscular and cardiovascular systems is impossible. Vitamin B promotes the synthesis of sex hormones and is needed for the process of hematopoiesis. The lack of this element affects the functioning of the nervous system. The B vitamin group is very important for healthy hair, skin and nails.

Sesame seed flour also contains a rather rare element. This is vitamin T. It increases the ability of blood to clot. It is precisely because of the presence of this element that sesame flour is not recommended for use by people who have increased blood clotting.

A sufficient amount of vitamin T in the body helps reduce the risk of developing hemophilia.
