Sesame seeds are  rich in vitamins and minerals. They are very good sources of B-complex vitamins such as niacin, folic acid, thiamin (vitamin B1), pyridoxine (vitamin B6), and riboflavin. They have antibacterial, anti-fungal, anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer as well as many health promoting properties. Sesame seeds also helps in regulating menstrual cycles.
