Toasted Sesame Seeds

Toasted sesame seeds are small, flat seeds derived from the sesame plant, prized for their nutty flavor and crunchy texture. These seeds are gently toasted to enhance their aroma and deepen their flavor profile, resulting in a rich, savory taste with hints of sweetness. Their golden-brown color and aromatic fragrance make them a popular ingredient in various cuisines worldwide, particularly in Asian and Middle Eastern dishes.

Suggested use: Sprinkle toasted sesame seeds over a wide range of dishes to add visual appeal, texture, and a rich, nutty flavor. Use them as a garnish for salads, stir-fries, noodle dishes, sushi rolls, and grain bowls. Their crunchy texture and toasty taste provide a delightful contrast to the other ingredients, enhancing the overall sensory experience of the dish.

Incorporate toasted sesame seeds into sauces, dressings, and marinades to impart their distinct nutty flavor and aroma. Blend them with ingredients like soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and garlic to create classic Asian-inspired sauces such as sesame soy dressing or teriyaki marinade. Toasted sesame seeds can also be ground into a paste known as tahini, a key component in Middle Eastern cuisine used in dishes like hummus, baba ganoush, and halva.
