About Seeds, sesame flour, partially defatted

Sesame (Sesamum indicum) is one of the world's oldest oilseed crops, grown for its small, flat, nutty-flavored seeds that come in shades of tan, white, brown, and black, with black sesame carrying a bolder, earthier taste. Toasting deepens their rich, warm flavor, which is why toasted sesame seeds and fragrant toasted sesame oil are pantry staples across Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and Middle Eastern cooking.

The seeds are ground into tahini, the smooth paste at the heart of hummus, baba ganoush, and sweet halva, pressed into oil, and worked into everything from bagels, burger buns, and breadsticks to stir-fries, noodle dishes, dressings, and the Japanese seasoning gomashio. Sesame seeds are nutrient-dense, providing healthy unsaturated fats, plant protein, fiber, and minerals like calcium, magnesium, iron, zinc, and copper, though they are also one of the major food allergens and are now labeled as such.

A quick toast in a dry skillet wakes up their aroma just before use. Store sesame seeds and tahini in an airtight container in a cool, dark place or the refrigerator, since their natural oils can turn rancid over time.
