Have you tried sesame seed milk? You'll love the creamy smooth texture of this milk!
Sesame seeds are a rich source of plant-based calcium. One glass of this recipe provides 40% of the Daily Value. That´s almost double the amount that´s in cow´s milk! Also an excellent source of non-heme iron (33% DV), zinc (21% DV) and a good source of many other vital vitamins and minerals. Sesame seeds contain phytosterols, lignans, heart-healthy oleic fatty acids plus unique substances such as Sesamin & Sesamolin. They have been associated with heart, bone, skin and oral health as well as promoting sleep, mood and providing protection from liver oxidative damage and certain types of cancers!
