What to know about sesame seeds
Sesame seeds are clean on histamine and gluten, but they are very high in oxalate and high in nickel, and sesame is now the ninth major allergen labeled in the United States. Those three things, not the fat or the fiber, are usually why a small sprinkle still causes problems for the wrong person.
Watch for
- Very high in oxalate, so regular handfuls add up quickly if you form kidney stones or are oxalate sensitive
- High in nickel, a common trigger for people with systemic nickel allergy who react to seeds, nuts and whole grains
- Sesame became the ninth labeled US allergen in 2023, so even trace amounts matter if you have a true sesame allergy
- Moderate FODMAP by volume: a light garnish is usually fine, but a tahini-sized amount can bother a sensitive gut
