And yet, sesame seeds have an extremely poor lipid profile, containing
21.375g of linoleic acid (omega 6) and only 0.376g of linolenic acid
(omega 3).   This gives an o6/o3 ratio of 57 to 1!

Incidently, according to the USDA data, 100g of whole dried sesame
seeds contains .388g of tryptophan -- more than twice what you report.
