Sesame is a food of high nutritional value, offering multiple benefits for the body. In ancient Greece, it was used in both food and sweets, as mentioned by Aristophanes, Herodotus, and Athenian, as well as in medicines, according to Galen and Hippophanes. Rich in calcium, iron, phosphorus, magnesium, and zinc, sesame also contains significant amounts of vitamins B1, B2, and E, as well as unsaturated fatty acids (up to 80%), carbohydrates, and proteins. As a result, it is considered a nutritional treasure.
With its strong antioxidant properties, sesame helps protect the body from disease and prevents the formation of free radicals. Additionally, it lowers blood cholesterol levels, improves bowel and liver function, protects against osteoporosis, vascular and respiratory diseases, boosts metabolism, and helps lower high blood pressure.
The sesame used in our halva and tahini is washed with salt water and ground using a traditional millstone. This ensures that Synergasia halva and tahini are not only delicious but also nutritious and healthy. Synergasia halva is 100% handmade.
