Comparing 2 standards across 13 specifications. 13 key differences identified.

Comparing:
Sesame Seeds (White, Hulled)
Walnuts (English / Persian)

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.
