Pregnancy guidance

Recommended

Whole dried sesame seeds are recommended as a stellar plant source of bone-building minerals in pregnancy. They contribute remarkable levels of non-dairy calcium, iron, zinc, and dietary fiber per tablespoon. Use whole or ground seeds in cooked meals to optimize digestive breakdown and mineral absorption. Sprinkle them generously over steamed broccoli, rice bowls, or whole-grain breads.
