JAKARTA– Masih banyak orang yang tidak mengetahui begitu bermanfaatnya biji wijen terhadap kesehatan, padahal kualitas protein, vitamin B dan Kalsium yang dikandungnya begitu luar biasa. Setidaknya pada 100 mg biji wijen terkandung kalsium 1125 mg jika dibandingkan dengan 2 gelas susu sapi segar yang hanya mengandung 600 mg kalsium. Biji wijen merupakan tumbuhan asal Afrika Khatulistiwa yang berada diketinggian 1000 m diatas permukaan laut. Bunga tertancap diantara kedua kalenjar, berangkai pendek dan daun berwarna ungu atau putih. Mahkota bunganya berambut dan berlendir seperti kelopaknya. Dengan bunga berbentuk tabung yang membengkok kebawah. Seperti yang dituliskan, Myra Sidharta dan Suryatini N Ganie dalam buku “Dapur Naga di Indonesia” dituliskan buku wijen merupakan sumber asam amino esensial, yakni salah satu jenis asam amino yang harus didatangkan dari luar tubuh manusia. Keutamaan kandungan protein pada biji wijen menjadikannya sebagai pengganti susu, telur, daging dan protein kedelai. Keutama lain, biji wijen juga mengandung substansi lain yang dikenal dengan vitamin T. Sebuah penelitian menunjukan bahwa vitamin T penting dalam mempertahankan stabilitas dan kesehatan limfa.

Menurut Prof Hembing Wijayakusuma dalam bukunya “Tumbuhan Berkhasiat Obat Indonesia ” dituliskan Wijen juga berkhasiat untuk pencegahan,pengobatan dan perawatan. Untuk langkah preventif wijen berguna mencegah kerontokan rambut, penuaan, kanker, penyakit degenaratif, rambut beruban, stroke, hipertensi dan lain-lain.

Sementara untuk pengobatan, wijen dapat dimanfaatkan dalam mengatasi penyakit batuk, katarak, sakit perut, sakit kepala, kencing nanah, kencing manis, sembelit, rematik dan luka-luka. Untuk perawatan, wijen dapat meningkatkan fungsi liver, kecerdasan dan menghitamkan rambut.

Penggunaan wijen dengan bahan lain juga berkhasiat. Misalnya, untuk mencegah penuan, biji wijen jika dicampur dengan kacang merah kecil dan gula merah dibuat bubur atau dimakan. Bila wijen ditaburkan diatas makanan dan sayuran akan berkhasiat melancarkan asi dan mecegah rambut beruban. Kemudian untuk masalah degeneratif yang dimanfaatkan adalah minyak wijen.

Sesame seeds nutrition facts

One of the first oil seeds known to humankind, sesame seeds are used in culinary as well as in traditional medicines for their nutritive, preventive, and curative properties. Its oil seeds are sources for some phyto-nutrients such as omega-6 fatty acids, flavonoid phenolic anti-oxidants, vitamins and dietary fiber with potent anti-cancer as well as health promoting properties.

Sesame plant is a tall annual herb of the pedaliaceae family, which grows extensively in Asia, particularly in Burma, China, and India. It is also one of main commercial crops in Nigeria, Sudan and Ethiopia. Its scientific name: Sesamum indicum.

The plant requires well-drained sandy soil and tropical environment to flourish. It grows to about 5 feet tall and bears plenty of pink-white foxglove type flowers. The pods appear soon containing white, brown, or black seeds depending up on the cultivar type, arranged in rows inside. Each pod (2-5 cm in length) is a long rectangular box like capsule with deep grooves on its sides. A pod (1 to 3 in. in length) may contain up to 100 or more seeds.

Sesame seeds are small, almost oblate in shape featuring pleasant nutty flavor and high oil content.

Health benefits of sesame seeds

Delicious, crunchy sesame seeds are widely considered healthful foods. They are high in energy but contain many health benefiting nutrients, minerals, antioxidants and vitamins that are essential for wellness.

The seeds are especially rich in mono-unsaturated fatty acid oleic acid, which comprise up to 50% fatty acids in them. Oleic acid helps to lower LDL or “bad cholesterol” and increase HDL or “good cholesterol” in the blood. Research studies suggest that Mediterranean diet which is rich in mono-unsaturated fats help to prevent coronary artery disease and stroke by favoring healthy lipid profile.

The seeds are also very good source of dietary proteins with fine quality amino acids that are essential for growth, especially in children. Just 100 g of seeds provide about 18 g of protein (32% of daily-recommended values).

In addition, sesame seeds contain many health benefiting compounds such as sesamol (3, 4-methylene-dioxyphenol), sesaminol, furyl-methanthiol, guajacol (2-methoxyphenol), phenylethanthiol and furaneol, vinylguacol and decadienal. Sesamol and sesaminol are phenolicanti-oxidants. Together, these compounds help stave off harmful free radicals from the body.

Sesame is amongst the seeds rich in quality vitamins and minerals. They are very good sources of B-complex vitamins such as niacin, folic acid, thiamin (vitamin B1), pyridoxine (vitamin B6), and riboflavin.

100 g of sesame contains 97 mcg of folic acid, about 25% of recommended daily intake. Folic acid is essential for DNA synthesis. When given in expectant mothers during peri-conception period, it may prevent neural tube defects in the baby.

Niacin is another B-complex vitamin found abundantly in sesame. About 4.5 mg or 28% of daily-required levels of niacin is provided by just 100 g of seeds. Niacin help reduce LDL-cholesterol levels in the blood. In addition, it enhances GABA activity inside the brain, which in turn helps reduce anxiety and neurosis.

The seeds are incredibly rich sources of many essential minerals. Calcium, iron, manganese, zinc, magnesium, selenium, and copper are especially concentrated in sesame seeds. Many of these minerals have vital role in bone mineralization, red blood cell production, enzyme synthesis, hormone production, as well as regulation of cardiac and skeletal muscle activities.

Just a hand full of sesame a day provides enough recommended levels of phenolic anti-oxidants, minerals, vitamins and protein.
