Tiny but mighty — sesame seeds pack more nutrition than you might expect. They’re full of calcium, iron, and skin-loving antioxidants. Let’s uncover their superfood secrets and how Lowrey uses them to craft its delicate, nutty-flavoured cookies.
🧠 1. The Ancient Energy Booster You Already Know
Before “superfood” became an Instagram buzzword, sesame seeds had already powered people for over 3,000 years. From ancient Egypt to East Asia, warriors and scholars ate sesame for strength and focus. In China, black sesame is known as “长生子” — the seed of longevity.
Modern science now confirms what our ancestors instinctively knew: sesame seeds are nutrient bombs disguised as tiny grains.
Just one tablespoon provides:
-
Calcium for strong bones and teeth
-
Iron for red-blood-cell energy
-
Magnesium & zinc for brain and immunity
-
Healthy fats for lasting fullness and glowing skin
It’s no wonder sesame seeds appear in both medicine cabinets and dessert recipes across cultures.
💪 2. The Secret to Sustained Energy (Without the Sugar Crash)
Tired of 3 p.m. slumps? Here’s your fix: sesame seeds release energy slowly, thanks to their natural balance of protein, fibre, and good fats. Unlike sugary snacks that spike and crash your blood sugar, sesame seeds keep energy levels steady.
That’s also why Lowrey’s Black Sesame Butter Cookies taste indulgent yet don’t leave you heavy. Each bite combines sesame’s earthy aroma with New Zealand cultured butter for slow-release fuel — a smart treat disguised as dessert.

✨ 3. Beauty Benefits: Glow From the Inside Out
Sesame isn’t just for strength — it’s for radiance. Black sesame seeds are packed with vitamin E and antioxidants like sesamol and sesamin, which:
-
Fight free radicals to prevent dull skin
-
Support collagen production
-
Keep your scalp and hair healthy
In traditional Chinese wellness, black sesame is even said to nourish the kidneys and darken hair naturally. So yes — your cookie break could secretly be a beauty ritual.
💚 4. Gut-Friendly Fibre for a Happier You
Your gut runs your mood, immunity, and even focus. Sesame seeds bring prebiotic fibre that feeds good bacteria in your digestive tract. Pair that with cultured butter (which has probiotics), and you get a pre-and-probiotic combo — nature’s balanced duo for smooth digestion.
That’s why every crumb of Lowrey’s sesame cookie feels light yet satisfying — a treat that loves your gut back.
🧂 5. The Flavour Factor: How Nutty Meets Buttery
If you’ve ever toasted sesame seeds at home, you know that aroma — warm, deep, slightly sweet. Black sesame, especially, adds a roasted, nutty complexity that cuts through buttery richness.
Lowrey’s bakers experimented with ratios until the sesame’s character shone without overpowering. The result? A cookie that smells like roasted nuts and melts like silk — balanced perfection.
Taste aside, this pairing helps absorb more nutrients too. Sesame’s fat-soluble minerals are better digested with butter’s natural lipids. Nature planned that collaboration perfectly.
🧘 6. For Mind & Mood: The Calm-Energy Effect
Inside those seeds lies tryptophan, an amino acid that supports serotonin production — your “happy hormone.”
That means sesame seeds may help you feel calmer and more focused, especially when paired with magnesium.
So next time you nibble a black sesame cookie with tea, you’re not just satisfying cravings; you’re literally feeding your mood chemistry.
🌍 7. Sustainability: Small Seeds, Big Impact
Sesame plants thrive with minimal water and fertiliser, making them one of the most eco-friendly crops on the planet.
By choosing sesame-based treats, you’re also supporting low-impact farming that aligns with the world’s shift toward sustainable food production.
Lowrey’s commitment to clean, simple ingredients — just butter, flour, sesame, and sugar — keeps the footprint as light as the cookies themselves.
