HEALTH & BENEFITS

While these fritters are not particularly healthy, the sesame seeds provide a good source of calcium, iron, and magnesium. Honey is a natural sweetener that contains antioxidants and has anti-inflammatory properties, but it should still be consumed in moderation due to its high sugar content.
