Black Sesame Seeds

Black Sesame Seeds - The striking sibling to white sesame with character all its own! These dark beauties come from the same Sesamum indicum plant as their white counterparts, but they retain their nutrient-rich hulls, giving them a deeper, more pungent flavor and satisfying crunch.The intact hull makes them earthier and slightly more bitter than hulled white sesame seeds, while delivering higher levels of antioxidants, calcium, and iron.

Perfect for seasoning sushi rolls and other rice dishes where their dramatic color creates beautiful visual contrast. Toast them briefly to enhance their nutty flavor before using in most recipes. Use them to encrust seafood and pork for a crunchy coating, or sprinkle on ice cream and fortune cookies for an unexpected twist in sweet applications. In Asian cuisine, they're essential for dishes like Chinese Tong Sui and Japanese gomashio (salt-sesame mixture)
