Black Sesame Seeds

Description

Black sesame seeds come from an ancient oilseed crop believed to have originated in parts of Africa or India over 5000 years ago. Now widely grown across tropical zones of Asia and the Middle East. The tiny, protein-rich oblong seeds add more calcium than milk, vitamin E, and antioxidants with a delicate nutty sweetness. Light roasting brings out their naturally rich, nutty, and sweet flavor. Black sesame seeds give an appealing crunch and visual interest when sprinkled onto Asian noodles, stir-fries, breads, crackers, or used as crusts coating fish.
