In the process of human aging, the functional activity of all parts of the digestion decreases: the chewing apparatus, esophagus, stomach, pancreas, liver, and intestines. As a result of violations, incomplete digestion of proteins, fats, carbohydrates occurs, and from here – a chronic deficiency of essential nutrients and metabolic disorders in organs and tissues
This makes it necessary to properly adjust the nutrition of people in old age, providing their body with the necessary amount of nutrients, including calcium, the deficiency of which plays a decisive role in the onset and development of such a disease as osteoporosis.
Sesame seeds should be considered as one of these additives.
Sesame is a Pancake week plant cultivated in India, Azerbaijan, Afghanistan, North Asia, Ukraine and the Krasnodar Territory. Sesame seed is one of the oldest seasonings known to man. Sesame seeds contain about 65% oil, unsaturated fatty acids. Sesame is rich in calcium, iron, vegetable proteins, vitamins: retinol, thiamine, riboflavin; lecithin and other healthy nutrients.
Sesame seeds have a nutty, sweet flavor that intensifies when frying. Fried, crushed sesame seeds can be used in a wide variety of dishes: from salads to pastas. Sesame is also used to add texture and taste to various breads, rolls, crackers and salad dressings.
Unfortunately, sesame is not very popular in our country, and is best known as a component of halva, especially “tahini”. For its preparation, as a basis, a tahini mass is used – mashed sesame seeds. At the same time, sesame seeds in the food market are all year round and are affordable.
