Black Sesame Balls, or Ellunda, are a traditional Indian sweet, particularly popular in Kerala, made primarily from roasted white sesame seeds, melted jaggery, and sometimes coconut. They are considered a nutritious, energy-boosting snack rich in calcium, magnesium, iron, and healthy fats. These balls are consumed on various occasions, including festivals and as a healthy alternative to processed snacks, offering a natural sweetness and a crunchy-yet-melts-in-your-mouth texture.
