Sesame seeds are widely used across Asian, Indian, and Middle Eastern cuisines, where they add texture and flavor to stir-fries, rice and noodle dishes, sushi, sauces, and spice blends. They are equally at home in baking, commonly sprinkled on breads, rolls, bagels, crackers, and pastries for visual appeal and a toasted, nutlike finish.
Use sesame seeds as a garnish, mix into coatings for meats, poultry, fish, or tofu, or stir into dressings and marinades. Light toasting in a dry skillet for a few minutes enhances aroma and deepens flavor. Packed in a large, flavor-sealed container for convenient measuring and repeated use.
