What it is

Sesame seed flour is made from ground sesame seeds after their oil has been pressed out. Sesame seeds are tiny, flat seeds that grow on the *Sesamum indicum* plant, which is cultivated in many parts of the world. The flour is a byproduct of sesame oil production.

Why it's used

Sesame seed flour is used to add a nutty flavor and texture to foods. It can also increase the protein and fiber content of products. It is often found in baked goods like breads and buns, as well as in some snack foods.

Health notes

Sesame seed flour is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of protein, fiber, and healthy fats. JECFA has evaluated sesame and its derivatives and established acceptable daily intakes. Scientific reviews suggest that moderate consumption as part of a balanced diet is unlikely to cause adverse health effects.

Allergen info

Sesame is one of the 9 FDA major allergens. It is not derived from wheat, so it does not contain gluten.
