Sesame Seed (Ellu Podi) Powder 150g

Health benefits of Ellu Podi:

Good Source of Fiber:

• Three tablespoons (30 grams) of unhulled sesame seeds provide 3.5 grams of fiber, which is 12% of the Reference Daily Intake (RDI).
• Since the average fiber intake in the United States is only half of the RDI, eating sesame seeds regularly could help increase your fiber.
• Fiber is well known for supporting digestive health. Additionally, growing evidence suggests that fiber may play a role in reducing your risk of heart disease, certain cancers, obesity, and type 2 diabetes.

May Lower Cholesterol and Triglycerides:

• Some studies suggest that regularly eating sesame seeds may help decrease high cholesterol and triglycerides — which are risk factors for heart disease.
• Sesame seeds consist of 15% saturated fat, 41% polyunsaturated fat, and 39% monounsaturated fat
• When 38 people with high blood lipids ate 5 tablespoons (40 grams) of hulled sesame seeds daily for 2 months, they experienced a 10% reduction in “bad” LDL cholesterol and an 8% reduction in triglycerides compared to the placebo group

Nutritious Source of Plant Protein:

• To maximize protein availability, opt for hulled, roasted sesame seeds. The hulling and roasting processes reduce oxalates and phytates — compounds that hamper your digestion and absorption of protein.
• May Help Lower Blood Pressure:
• Sesame seeds are high in magnesium, which may help lower blood pressure
• May Support Healthy.
• Sesame seeds — both unhulled and hulled — are rich in several nutrients that boost bone health, though the calcium is mainly in the hull.

May Reduce Inflammation:

• Long-term, low-level inflammation may play a role in many chronic conditions, including obesity and cancer, as well as heart and kidney disease.
• Good Source of B Vitamins, May Aid Blood Cell Formation.
