Sesame paste

Overview

Sesame paste is a food made from sesame seeds. It is rich in nutrients, has a sweet and numb aroma, can satisfy cravings, and has an endless aftertaste. Since ancient times, it has been considered a good product for nourishing and strengthening the body and prolonging life. There are other benefits if you choose the right ingredients. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that sesame is sweet in taste and neutral in nature, and has the functions of nourishing blood, moisturizing intestines, clearing breasts, and nourishing hair. Sesame paste is suitable for treating symptoms such as physical weakness, premature graying of hair, anemia, dry stools, dizziness, and tinnitus. For example, black sesame seeds have the effects of beautifying the skin and making white hair black. Black sesame seeds are very rich in vitamin E, which can delay aging, moisturize the five internal organs, strengthen muscles and bones, and replenish qi. These are sesame seeds grown by my mother-in-law herself. I usually add a little when cooking porridge or making soy milk, but there are a lot of sesame seeds at home, so I thought of making sesame paste. A bowl of hot sesame paste is still very warm today.
