What it is

Sesame flour is made from sesame seeds that have had most of their oil removed. The remaining solids are ground into a fine powder. It is a source of protein and fiber.

Why it's used

Sesame flour is used as a gluten-free alternative to wheat flour in baked goods like breads, crackers, and cookies. It adds a nutty flavor and can improve the texture and nutritional profile of products.

Health notes

Sesame flour is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. It is a good source of fiber and protein. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated sesame and its components, but no specific health concerns are typically associated with its consumption in food products at normal levels. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from typical dietary intake.

Allergen info

Sesame is one of the 9 major food allergens recognized by the FDA. People with a sesame allergy should avoid foods containing sesame flour. It does not contain gluten.
