Sesame Seeds
Sesame seeds are imported to the UK for year-round availability, as they require tropical or subtropical climates to grow. These tiny seeds are an exceptional source of calcium, magnesium, and healthy fats. They support bone health and provide essential antioxidants, making them a nutritious pantry staple in any season.
