Sesame seeds milk is an excellent source of calcium. It is best to eat sesame seeds raw so that their maximum benefit is preserved. 100 grams of sesame seeds cover 99% of the body’s daily need for calcium. However, it is much easier and more pleasant to consume this amount of sesame in the form of milk.

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup organic raw black sesame seeds
• 4¼ cups filtered water
• dates, kumquats, or monk fruit sweetener, to taste

Equipment needed

• soaking container
• blender
• fine mesh sieve and cheesecloth for filtering
• glass container for storing ready-made milk

Preparation of the Sesame Seed Milk

1. Wash and soak sesame seeds in filtered water. This is necessary to remove phytic acid from the seeds. Phytic acid is found in most plant foods (cereals, legumes, nuts, cereals, seeds).It is not absorbed by the body and can prevent other beneficial nutrients from being absorbed into the bloodstream. This is why it’s important to soak plant-based foods. For optimal results, sesame seeds should ideally be soaked in water for 12 hours before making the milk.
2. Drain the water (it will be black), rinse again, and put the sesame seeds into a blender. Add dates or other (natural) sweeteners as needed. Pour in a liter of water.
3. Grind until smooth. The best option is a stationary blender, which is used for smoothies. You can also use an immersion blender, but make sure that the sesame mass is blended well and has the consistency of porridge. Then mix the mass with water and blend for another 2 minutes.
4. Pass the liquid through a sieve, and then through a cheesecloth. It is better to repeat each step twice.
5. The sesame seed milk will have a rich grey color. However, if made from shelled seeds, it would have a pleasant vanilla hue.

How This Recipe Benefits the Thyroid

1. Organic Raw Black Sesame Seeds

Black sesame seeds are rich in zinc, magnesium, and selenium, which are essential minerals for supporting thyroid hormone production and reducing inflammation in the gland. They also provide healthy fats and antioxidants that help combat oxidative stress.

2. Filtered Water

Hydration is critical for overall health, including thyroid function, as it supports metabolic processes and nutrient absorption.

3. Dates, Kumquats, or Monk Fruit Sweetener

These natural sweeteners provide a healthier alternative to refined sugar, preventing blood sugar spikes that can negatively affect thyroid function. Kumquats and dates also contain antioxidants and vitamins like vitamin C, which support immune and thyroid health. Monk fruit is calorie-free and has anti-inflammatory properties, making it a thyroid-friendly sweetener.
