Sauces are a tasty part of any meal, snack, spread, or dip. They add an extra oomph to the flavors, surprising our taste buds in the right way! The secret to a rawmazing black sauce is using ingredients that complement each other in terms of taste and texture, creating a unique blend of food elements. By adding spices, herbs, fruits, and vegetables, an unexpected yet delightful flavor emerges.

Foods with black, dark, and purplish hues contain anthocyanins that give them their deep, rich color. These potent antioxidants fight free radicals, which cause premature aging, and promote heart health by protecting cholesterol from oxidation. In addition, antioxidants have anti-inflammatory properties, as seen in prunes and black sesame seeds. The sesame seeds provide healthy fats that boost digestion and nutrient absorption.

Nutritional Benefits: Prunes, which are dried plums, contain essential vitamins such as A, B-6, K, niacin, and riboflavin. They also provide minerals like iron, boron, potassium, magnesium, copper, and manganese, offering benefits such as relief from constipation, improved skin health, enhanced bone strength, and lowered blood pressure. Black sesame seeds have long been prized for their anti-aging and health-enhancing properties, including anti-cancer effects, digestive support, and blood pressure stabilization due to their magnesium content.
