What are the benefits of sesame seeds?

olive nutritionist Kerry Torrens says “These are a great source of protein as well as valuable minerals such as iron, zinc, copper and potassium. They also supply more vitamin E than the equivalent amount of chia seeds, and their high oil content (up to 60%) has been proven to help reduce blood pressure, while plant compounds supply useful cholesterol-lowering properties."

Method

step 1

For the dressing, put the miso into a bowl and add 50ml of cold water, whisking to dissolve. Stir in the rice vinegar, ginger and some seasoning.
step 2

Tip all of the salad ingredients into a large bowl, then toss gently with the dressing.
step 3

Cut the tuna steaks into 3cm fingers, then put the sesame seeds onto a plate and roll over the tuna pieces to cover all the sides.
step 4

Heat the sesame oil in a non-stick frying pan over a medium-high heat. Cook the tuna pieces for 30 seconds on each side, just to sear and toast the sesame seeds.
step 5

Divide the salad between two plates and serve with the tuna on top.
