Comparing:
Almonds (Raw Unsalted)
Sesame Seeds (White, Hulled)
Almonds (Prunus dulcis) are nutrient-dense tree nuts. Per 100g raw, they provide 579 kcal, 49.9g healthy fats (31.6g MUFA), 21.2g protein, 21.6g carbohydrates (12.5g fiber / 9.1g net carbs), and 25.6mg vitamin E (171% DV).
White sesame seeds (Sesamum indicum) have had the outer hull removed, giving a milder flavor and lighter color than whole/unhulled seeds. Per 100g, they provide roughly 570 kcal, 49-50g fat (mostly mono- and polyunsaturated), 17-18g protein, and notably lower calcium than unhulled seeds, since most of the seed's calcium sits in the hull that's been removed.
