Sesame seed also contains a lot of (especially water-insoluble) fiber (12 grams per 100 grams) and has a high content of minerals (copper, manganese, calcium, magnesium, iron, phosphorus, zinc, selenium, molybdenum), beta-carotene and vitamins ( thiamine, pyridoxine, folic acid, vitamin B3, riboflavin, vitamin E, choline).
