Also known as Til · Teel · Gingelly Seeds · Ellu · Nuvvulu · Yellu · Benne Seeds
Sesame seeds — or til as they are known across India — are among the oldest cultivated seeds in human history, used in Indian cooking and Ayurveda for thousands of years. Every tiny seed packs a remarkable nutritional punch — 17g protein, 170mg calcium, and 14.6mg iron per 100g — along with magnesium, zinc, and powerful antioxidants called sesamin and sesamolin that protect your cells from inflammation.
At Just Shudh, we bring you premium quality white sesame seeds — naturally cleaned, carefully packed, with no additives, no preservatives, and no artificial processing. These are pure til seeds the way your dadi used to use them — in til laddu, chikki, rotis, and chutneys. The same goodness. No compromise.
Why It Stands Out
- 170mg calcium per 100g — top plant source for strong bones
- 14.6mg iron per 100g — excellent for anaemia prevention
- Rich in magnesium (351mg) — supports sleep, stress & nerves
- Sesamin & sesamolin — rare antioxidants unique to sesame
- High dietary fibre (11.8g) — supports digestion & blood sugar
- Good source of healthy fats — mono & polyunsaturated
- Natural | No Additives | 100% Vegan

What sesame seeds do for your body
Benefits You Will Actually Feel
🦴Strongest Plant Source of Calcium for Bones
With 170mg of calcium per 100g, sesame seeds are one of the best plant-based bone-builders available. Combined with 351mg magnesium and significant phosphorus content, they form a complete bone-support package. Regular consumption may help prevent osteoporosis and support joint health — especially important for women above 40.
⚡Iron-Rich — Fights Fatigue & Anaemia
Sesame seeds contain 14.6mg of iron per 100g — one of the highest among seeds and plant foods. Iron is essential for red blood cell production, energy metabolism, and oxygen transport. Adding sesame seeds daily is particularly beneficial for women, children, and vegetarians who are at higher risk of iron deficiency.
❤️Heart Health — Sesamin & Healthy Fats
Sesame seeds contain unique lignans called sesamin and sesamolin — antioxidants found almost exclusively in sesame — that have been shown to reduce LDL (bad) cholesterol, lower blood pressure, and protect blood vessel walls. The mono and polyunsaturated fats further support cardiovascular health.
🩸White Til Benefits — Blood Sugar Management
The high magnesium content in sesame seeds (351mg per 100g) plays a key role in regulating blood sugar by improving insulin sensitivity. The dietary fibre (11.8g per 100g) slows glucose absorption, preventing post-meal blood sugar spikes. Sesame seeds are a low-glycaemic snack option suitable for diabetic-friendly diets.
🌸Hormonal Balance for Women
Sesame seeds contain phytoestrogens (plant oestrogens) including sesamin, which may help balance oestrogen levels in women — particularly helpful during menopause and perimenopause. Regular consumption may reduce hot flashes, support bone density in post-menopausal women, and ease PMS symptoms.
✨Glowing Skin & Hair Growth
Sesamin antioxidants protect skin cells from free radical damage, reducing signs of ageing. Zinc and iron in sesame seeds support hair follicle health and reduce hair fall. The healthy fats keep skin moisturised from within. Sesame oil (til oil) derived from these seeds has been used in India for skin and scalp massage for centuries.
Digestive Health & Gut Wellness
At 11.8g of dietary fibre per 100g, sesame seeds are excellent for digestive regularity. The fibre feeds beneficial gut bacteria, reduces constipation, and supports a healthy gut microbiome. They also contain natural anti-inflammatory compounds that soothe the gut lining.
How to Eat Sesame Seeds — 5 Simple Ways
1.Dry Roast & Sprinkle on Food
Dry roast in a pan on low heat for 2–3 minutes until golden and fragrant. Sprinkle on rice, dal, khichdi, salads, yoghurt, or soups for a nutty crunch. This is the easiest way to add til to your daily meals without any preparation.
2. Mix into Roti, Paratha or Atta Dough
Add 1–2 tablespoons of sesame seeds to your roti or paratha atta while kneading. They bake into the bread, adding calcium and iron to every bite without changing the taste significantly. A great way to include sesame seeds for children and elders.
3. Make Til Laddu or Til Chikki
Traditional til laddu (roasted sesame seeds + jaggery) and til chikki are time-tested Indian superfoods. They are especially recommended during winter — warming, energy-dense, and loaded with iron and calcium. Makar Sankranti favourite for good reason!
4. Add to Smoothies & Protein Shakes
Blend 1 tablespoon of sesame seeds into your morning smoothie with banana, spinach, or dates. They add calcium, iron, and protein without a strong flavour — making your smoothie nutritionally complete without any dairy or supplements.
5. Use in Chutneys, Curries & Baking
Sesame seeds are a traditional ingredient in til chutney, goda masala, and Korean-style sesame dressings. Add to baked goods like cookies, bread, and crackers for texture. Use as a coating for paneer tikka or fish for a nutrient-rich crust.
Recommended Dose: 1–2 tablespoons (10–15g) per day. Suitable for all age groups. Best consumed roasted for enhanced flavour and digestibility. Store in a cool, dry airtight container after opening. Best before 6 months from date of packaging.
