Omega White Sesame Seed: hulled sesame for tahini, buns, zaatar and til laddoos. Single 1 kg pack.
White sesame seeds are hulled seeds of the sesame plant, cultivated across tropical regions for its edible seeds. They have a mild, nutty taste that deepens when toasted. Sesame is ground into tahini for hummus, baba ghanoush and halva, coated onto simit, kaak and burger buns, and used in zaatar blends. In Asian cooking, toasted seeds finish stir-fries, noodles, sesame chicken and salads, and in India they make til laddoos and chikki with jaggery. Toast them in a dry pan over medium heat, stirring constantly, until golden and fragrant, then tip them onto a plate to stop browning. Sesame is a common allergen, so label dishes clearly. Store the seeds airtight and cool, or refrigerate for longer storage. They also coat sesame chicken and crusted fish fillets.
