5 special health benefits your body gets when eating black sesame every day.

Black sesame is calorie-dense due to its natural oil content. A small handful can contain over 100–150 calories.

This can lead to:

  • Caloric surplus

  • Slower weight-loss progress

  • Unintended weight gain

While black sesame can still fit into a healthy diet, people trying to lose weight should measure portions carefully or avoid excessive intake.
