The Ultimate Pantry Staple for Global Flavours

Looking for a simple, nutritious ingredient to elevate your meals? Spice n Easy's White Sesame Seeds are a must-have for any well-stocked kitchen. Their mild flavour allows them to blend seamlessly into both sweet and savoury dishes, while their satisfying crunch adds a perfect textural element.

White vs. Black Sesame Seeds:

• White Sesame Seeds: Are hulled, resulting in a milder, creamier flavour and lighter colour. Ideal for tahini, baking, and where a subtle nutty note is desired.

• Black Sesame Seeds: Are unhulled, giving them a more robust, bitter flavour, darker colour, and a slightly higher mineral content. Often used for dramatic garnishing in Asian cuisine.

How to Use White Sesame Seeds in Your Kitchen:

• Baking & Bread Making: Generously sprinkle on top of bread, buns, bagels, and crackers before baking for that classic, tasty finish.

• Homemade Tahini: Lightly toast and blend the seeds with a little oil to create your own fresh, additive-free tahini for hummus and dressings.

• Crunchy Garnish: Toast lightly in a dry pan to enhance their nutty flavour, then sprinkle over salads, steamed vegetables, rice bowls, and noodle dishes.

• Asian Cuisine: Use as a garnish for sushi, stir-fries, and tempura.

• Energy Bites & Bars: Mix into homemade muesli bars, bliss balls, and granola for added nutrition and texture.

Toasting Tip: Lightly toasting white sesame seeds in a dry pan over medium heat for a few minutes until fragrant will dramatically enhance their nutty flavour and crunch.
