\"sesame<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Sesame honey candy, or pasteli<\/em>, is a traditional Greek confection which combines the simplest of ingredients to create a wholesome, natural treat featuring three simple ingredients: sesame seeds, honey and unrefined sea salt.  Often served for Easter, though a charming treat any time of the year, sesame honey candy are dense with sesame flavor and offer pleasantly chewy candy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sesame seeds offer a rich source of minerals including calcium and zinc, and they frequently make the list of the best sources of vitamins and minerals<\/a>.  Indeed, sesame seeds are a rich source of thiamin, riboflavin, vitamin B6, calcium and magnesium.  The hulls of sesame seeds contain oxalates, and, for this reason, I recommend using hulled sesame seeds not only for better mineral absorption, but also for improved flavor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
