Guest guest Posted September 15, 2003 Report Share Posted September 15, 2003 To grind sesame seeds I use a $12 coffee grinder from Walmart. If you eat these seeds without grinding them, or chewing them very well, they can pass right through without being utilized by your system. I think there is still quite a bit of nutrition in the hulled sesame seeds, but I like to go ahead and use the seeds with the hulls because I know there is good calcium for me in them. As a breastfeeding mother I'm on the lookout for good sources of calcium from raw food. The seeds with hulls on them are to be kept refrigerated. This is a sign of live food if I ever saw one! One way to use sesame seeds is in a Chinese cabbage salad. Shred up green and red cabbage and grate in some carrots, squash, sweet potato, apple or whatever suits your fancy and chop up some green onion tops or chives and then sprinkle liberally with ground sesame seeds. For dressing juice some fresh ginger, apple, carrot and a little lemon. Toss into your veges and you have a special supper salad! Another idea is to make a Halva for dessert. Mix a cup of ground sesame seeds with shredded coconut and a spidge of raw honey. Roll into balls. Yummy!

Guest guest Posted September 15, 2003 Report Share Posted September 15, 2003 Dear Jenny, Another idea for calcium to complement the sesame seeds would be a cruciferous vegetable salad done with a Japanese styled sauce. Broccoli and Rabe, Brussels Sprouts, Kale, Chards, Mustard Greens, Endive, etc. (some of these are not in the cruciferous family). Prepare those any way you like adding others veggies, especially sprouts. For the sauce use tamari or shoyu, grated ginger, ground sesame seeds, and possibly some fresh ground coriander, and fresh lime juice. Whisk all the sauce ingredients together toss on salad and enjoy! Marcus --- jennysilliman wrote: > To grind sesame seeds I use a $12 coffee grinder from Walmart.
