White Sesame Seeds

Description

White Sesame Seeds

White Sesame Seeds grow widely throughout East Asia and in India. These seeds are highly valued, being rich in protein and in polyunsaturated oil. Typically Sesame Seeds are pressed into oils or made into pastes to serve as flavoring agents or in sauces. These flat, tiny seeds have a rich, nutty, sweet flavor which allows them to be used in many different dishes. Typically, the Sesame Seed is pale White in color, but can also be found black.

Use Sesame Seeds with salads, fish, poultry and meat dishes, add to stir fried vegetables, bean and noodles dishes, cheese spreads and egg salads, butter or cheese sauces, cakes and cookies, and butter spreads and breads. Ground sesame seeds make a paste called Tahini, used to make hummus and used widely in Middle East Cooking.  We also have a simple, authentic Hummus recipe if you are looking for one.

Toast or grind sesames seeds or add directly to your recipe. To toast, heat a frying pan or skillet on high, add seeds and stir occasionally. Watch seeds closely, when the seeds release a toasted nutty fragrance remove from pan or skillet (about 3-5 minutes).

We also carry Black Sesame Seeds.
