Keep a little jar of sesame seeds in your store cupboard to scatter over salads, stir-fries, cakes and baking.

These tiny, nutty-flavoured seeds are a great source of protein and a rich source of magnesium, copper and calcium (useful for bone health), as well as vitamin B1, zinc (to support immunity) and a special type of dietary fibre (lignans) which can help lower cholestero­l and assist in preventing high blood pressure.

Sprinkle a little bit of goodness on your meal today.
