Sesame Seeds (Natural)

Sesame seeds, also known as til or gingelly seeds, are tiny, oil-rich seeds that grow in pods on the Sesamum indicum plant. Natural sesame seeds come with the outer, edible husk intact, offering a slightly different texture and flavor compared to hulled sesame seeds. They are a versatile culinary ingredient used whole, roasted, or ground to enhance numerous dishes.

• Distinct Nutty Flavor: Natural sesame seeds possess a characteristic nutty flavor with a hint of earthiness. The presence of the husk contributes slightly to this unique taste profile.
• Culinary Versatility: Natural sesame seeds can be enjoyed in various forms. Whole sesame seeds can be sprinkled on salads, vegetables, and baked goods for a delightful textural contrast. Roasting intensifies their flavor, making them ideal for stir-fries and curries. Ground sesame seeds, also known as tahini, are a common ingredient in Middle Eastern cuisine, used in dips like hummus and sauces.
• Nutritional Value: Natural sesame seeds are a good source of healthy fats, protein, fiber, vitamins, and minerals. They contribute essential nutrients to a balanced diet.
