Roasted white sesame

Toasted sesame seeds have a firm place in Asian cuisine. You can sprinkle them over rice, ramen, fried noodles or miso soup as a delicious topping. White sesame is also an important ingredient in many sushi variations. It is a decorative and delicious coating for California rolls, for example.

As one of the oldest useful plants in the world, sesame seeds are highly valued in Asian, especially Japanese cuisine. Roasting gives the hulled sesame seeds their slightly nutty aroma.

Sesame is also used in a variety of ways outside of Asian cuisine. For example, it is an ingredient in many Arabic dishes. You can also use white roasted sesame seeds as a topping on salads, muesli, fruit salad or quark.

Storage: It is best to store sesame seeds in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight. Once opened, store in an airtight container and consume quickly.
