Whole Black Sesame Seeds – Deep Flavor and Antioxidant Rich

Description

Whole black sesame seeds (unhulled) are one of the most robustly flavored seeds with the highest antioxidant content, particularly favored by Eastern cuisines. The seeds preserve their nutrient content best in their unhulled form, including calcium, iron, zinc, B vitamins, and especially abundant antioxidants.

Unhulled black sesame seeds have a more intense, bitterly nutty flavor, which is particularly aromatic when toasted. An excellent choice for flavoring rice dishes, salads, wok dishes, tahini, or even cakes and cookies.
