Black sesame seeds are a nutritional goldmine: they contain copper, iron, magnesium, and vitamins B1 and E. Copper, in particular, is essential for melanin production. In other words, the more copper you have in your diet, the better your chances of boosting your hair’s natural color.
Protection against cellular aging
Rich in antioxidants, these tiny seeds protect hair cells from oxidative stress, a phenomenon that accelerates hair aging. As a result, they may not only slow graying but also preserve existing pigments.
A boost for the scalp
Good blood circulation to the scalp is key to nourishing hair follicles. Black sesame seeds are said to help improve this circulation, promoting stronger, healthier roots.
How to integrate them into your daily life
You don’t need to change your entire lifestyle to adopt this tip. Here are some easy ideas:
1 tablespoon per day, simply raw or sprinkled on your salads, yogurts or mueslis.
In a smoothie, for an energizing breakfast.
In paste form, with a little honey or water: delicious on wholemeal bread.
In oil, use as a vinaigrette or drizzled over hot dishes.
