Sesame Creme 芝麻糊 (2)

Not too long ago, I tried a Sesame Walnut Paste Sweet Soup 芝麻合桃糊 and so today, I shall attempt Sesame Paste Creme 芝麻糊 (2).

Recently, hub went for his body checkup and found that he has high cholesterol.  So I am on a quest for identifying all food that can lower his cholesterol.

One of them is sesame seeds.  It ranks highest in cholesterol-lowering phytosterols of nearly all nuts, seeds, legumes, and grains.

It also helps to balance the hormones which now I am experiencing.

With age comes greying hair and sesame seed oil stimulates hair growth by nourishing, conditioning, and promoting a healthy scalp. Regular massage with warm sesame oil penetrates your scalp, thus increasing blood circulation.

By the way, get the one that is not toasted for this usage.  This oil was introduced to me by a doctor who does massage for my girl when she was experiencing back pain when she was young.

So from now on, sesame will be part of our diet.


Findings: This is a really nice recipe.  The creme turned out really well and tasty.

A friend who tried making it also gave a thumb's up for this.

Definitely a recipe keeper!

    1. Hi Lynn, it acts as a thickener. I supposed you can use arrowroot flour. Just adjust to your liking.
