Teel aka Sesame seeds are tiny, oil-rich seeds that grow in husks on the Sesamum indicum plant. Unpeeled seeds have the outer, edible husk intact, while hulled seeds come without the pod. The hull gives the seeds a golden-brown hue. Hulled seeds have an off-white color but turn brown when roasted. For centuries and more, this oldest reckoned oilseed crop has been used in folk medicine and Ayurveda due to its potential health benefits.
It is a good source of healthy fats, protein, B vitamins, minerals, fiber, antioxidants, and other beneficial plant compounds. Sesame is supposed to protect against heart disease, diabetes, and arthritis when consumed a significant amount (a small handful per day) to gain health benefits. With regular consumption it may aid blood sugar control, combat arthritis pain, and lower cholesterol. You can eat sesame seeds soaked, roasted, or sprouted in different culinary arts.
