Good to know
Sesame is a very popular ingredient, especially on baked goods. By the way, a third of the Mexican sesame harvest goes to McDonalds in the USA to make their sesame buns. However, most of the world's harvest is processed into sesame oil, which can be heated very highly and is one of the healthiest oils in the world, with a high proportion of unsaturated fats. Especially in the vegetarian diet, sesame is often used because it contains a lot of protein. However, sesame also has some allergens, which can lead to sesame allergy in some people, mostly adults.
