Sesame in your daily routine

In this article we take a close look at sesame: its traditional use in Morocco, how to use it and general precautions.

Sesame (السمسم)

Sesame appears in chebakia and sellou; its cosmetic oil is used for massage.

How to use: As part of varied meals, in normal cooking amounts.

Sesame in a daily routine

• Add sesame to one meal a day as part of a varied diet.
• Keep it simple: one or two regular steps beat many irregular ones.
• Watch how your skin or hair responds and stop if any irritation appears.

• Start with a small amount and try sesame in one recipe before making it a habit.
