OILS AND FATS – THE NATURE AND PROPERTIES OF OILS AND FATS (CONCLUSION)
Considering all these factors, it will be seen how vital it is to change over to unrefined fats and oils, such as those made from sunflower and safflower seed, olives, poppy seed and linseed. Also, fresh tree seed products, or nuts, are suitable for meeting our vital requirement of unsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids. A first-class source of highly unsaturated fatty acids are sesame seeds, which contain up to 43 per cent of these oils, in addition to interesting combinations of minerals and proteins, making these seeds a valuable food item indeed. Sesame seeds and products made from them serve millions of people in the Near East as a daily health food. So it would be quite appropriate to include them in our diet. It would help to rectify a deficiency in our unnatural diet that has been permitted for much too long.
