Black Sesame
Seeds

Sesamum radiatum and Sesamum indicum are flowering plants in the genus Sesamum (also called benne). The plant and the seeds are native to Africa and India. It is black and white how they are different- to be specific, the color is different. On the inside, however, the raw seeds are very similar. When they are toasted, Sesamum radiatum shows its nuttier personality and has a nice character-building bitterness. We also have Sesamum indicum, or hulled white sesame seeds, available in a 8 oz. bag.

Raw sesame seeds are easy to toast. What a wonderful way to chill (or heat) and pass the time.

Keep them frozen to preserve the oils and get a shelf life of up to a year. You can add them to almost any dish. Add them to a stir fry, top your next steak or pastry- from cookies to pie!

Or you can make Tang Yuan (Sweet Rice Balls with Black Sesame Filling). We found this recipe with pictures HERE.
