Is sesame oil (and tahini) actually good for heart and brain health?

[jennifer_bloom]

I am thinking of buying tahini even though I have no intention of making hummus, because my mom used to say that sesame oil is good for your heart. I bought a 4.9 out of 5 health supplement online, and the box says you have to combine it with fat and oil or the nutrients from your health supplement will not be absorbed.

Yes. Both sesame oil and tahini are healthy when used in moderation.

They contain healthy fats that are good for your heart, plus antioxidants that may help protect your brain. Tahini is even more nutritious because it's made from whole sesame seeds, so it also has protein, fiber, and minerals 🥰

The main thing is not to overdo it.. they're healthy, but they're also high in calories.
