Tahini and Sesame Seeds: Plant Calcium Sources

Calcium Content

  • Sesame seeds and their paste, tahini, are exceptionally rich sources of plant-based calcium.
  • Unhulled sesame seeds contain significantly higher amounts of calcium compared to hulled varieties, as the calcium is concentrated in the outer hull.

Nutritional Considerations

  • While rich in calcium, sesame seeds also contain phytic acid (phytates) and oxalates, which are natural anti-nutrients that can bind to minerals and reduce their intestinal absorption.
  • To improve the bioavailability and utilization of calcium, it is important to ensure an adequate intake of synergistic nutrients such as magnesium, boron, and vitamin D.

Practical Recommendations

  • Include unhulled sesame seeds or stone-ground unhulled tahini in your diet for a concentrated natural mineral boost.
  • Consume in moderation and balance with a nutrient-dense diet to support optimal mineral metabolism and prevent potential mineral imbalances.
