Black sesame seed has proven dietary and health benefits, such as antihypertensive and antioxidant. It can tonify or increase liver blood and nourish the eyes, beautifies skin and helps reduce white hair. Chinese people have been using black sesame as a dietary supplement and in traditional Chinese medicine for over two thousand years.
I made this black sesame chiffon cake and it turned out great. Enjoy!
