Eating raw sesame seeds can provide relief for the pain and swelling symptoms of arthritis and help strengthen bones and joints.

To maintain freshness, store sesame seeds in the refrigerator in a sealed bag or airtight container.

Sesame seeds grow in tropical regions and come from a plant that typically grows to about three feet tall, but can reach heights of up to seven feet. The trees sprout white and pink flowers, which mature into pods that contain the sesame seeds. The seeds are small and flat with an oval shape. Once the sesame seeds are ready for harvesting, they split open and fall to the ground.
