Sesame seeds are the latest superfood. They’re not only good for your heart and blood pressure, but they also balance hormones! This recipe is a delicious way to introduce them into your diet while having fun making these Raw Sesame Pistachio Balls at home.
The sesame seed has been around forever as an ingredient in Middle Eastern cooking dishes like hummus or falafel. But it’s more than just being a tasty food – recent studies show that this little powerhouse of healthy fats can do wonders for you too! According to some research, sesame seeds might improve cholesterol levels and lower high blood pressure; other studies have shown their ability to help regulate hormone production during menopause symptoms such as night sweats or hot flashes.
INGREDIENTS:
2 cups sesame seeds
1 cup raisins
1 cup pistachios

1/2 cup finely shredded coconut flakes
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/3 tsp sea salt (adjust to your own taste)
