There are plenty of energy bars available to consumers that feature sesame seeds as an ingredient alongside nuts, seeds, fruits and other sources of short-term and long-term energy, but the new sesame seed bar from Absolutely Gluten Free puts a spotlight on the ingredient.
The dairy-free, gluten-free TahiniBAR products from Absolutely Gluten Free is available in three flavors: Cocoa Nibs, Pistachio and Vanilla, each of which boasts just 100 calories per "super seed energy bar."
The health benefits of sesame seeds are immense, as the small seeds are packed with vitamins, minerals, calcium, iron, magnesium, zinc, fiber and protein. Although tahini is most familiar to consumers as a Middle Eastern sesame paste, these energy snack bars offer a conveniently handheld way for the flavors of sesame seeds to be enjoyed.
