Sesame Seeds, White

White sesame seeds, the dried fruit of a tropical herb are nutrient-dense, hulled seeds known for their mild, nutty, and slightly sweet flavor. The nut-like seed adds flavor and texture to sweet and savory foods. Rich in protein, healthy fats, calcium, iron, and antioxidants, they also offer various health benefits.

A staple in Asian and Middle Eastern cuisine, use sesame seeds toasted or untoasted, the same way nuts are used. Toasted, the seeds taste like toasted almonds.

Often used in baking, as toppings for salads and rice, or ground into tahini. Sprinkle on bread and rolls, salads, noodles and vegetables.  Add to stir fry, casseroles, soup, spreads and stuffing.
