【Black Sesame and Sweet Rice Puree】
by MaomaoMom

I always have a bag of black sesame and a box of dates handy at home. These two have lots health benefits . Sesame seeds are excellent source of copper and a very good source of manganese, but they are also a good source of calcium, magnesium, iron, phosphorus, vitamin B1, zinc, molybdenum, selenium, and dietary fiber. Dates are high in fiber, low in fat, high in simple carbohydrates, and they don’t contain cholesterol.
