Flaxseeds (Ground / Milled) vs. Sesame Seeds (White, Hulled)

Flaxseeds (Linum usitatissimum) must be ground to break down the tough hull for nutrient absorption. Per 100g, they provide 534 kcal, 42.2g fats (22,810mg Omega-3 ALA), 18.3g protein, 28.9g carbohydrates (27.3g fiber / 1.6g net carbs), and world-record lignans.

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.
