Burma Spice Black Sesame Seeds | Unhulled Sesame Seeds | Nutty Tase and High Oil Content 8 oz.

Black sesame seeds are unhulled sesame seeds, known for their nuttiness and high oil content. In North America and Europe, white seeds are more common, but in various countries around the world, you’re more likely to find black sesame seeds. Compared to white sesames, there’s only a slight difference in flavor between the varietals. Black sesame seeds tend to have slightly bitter notes, along with a sweet, nutty taste. That’s due to the small outer shell. Black sesame seeds are most common in the Far East. They’re widely used in Japanese cooking, as well as in Chinese dim sum. Asian cooks prefer the black seeds, thanks to their bitter, more complex flavor. Used as a garnish and ingredient in a number of dishes, the seeds add a slightly crunchy texture, as well as warm, nutty notes to fish, beef and noodle dishes. In Korea, the black seeds are commonly used in confections like yeot-gangjeong, a black sesame-encrusted nut bar. And the nuttiness of the seed pairs nicely with sweet flavors. A few common uses include: Garnish – Japanese and Chinese cooks garnish many dishes with black sesames. Sushi rolls, sashimi and sesame balls all feature the black seeds. Rice and Noodle Dishes – The slight crunchiness of the nut, as well as its nutty flavor pairs nicely with rice and noodle dishes like black sesame chahan. Condiments – Goma shio, a Japanese dry condiment featuring a mix of seeds and salt, is commonly used over salads. Tahini is another sesame-infused sauce. Baked Goods – Although the white seeds are more common in European and North American kitchens, the black seeds are just as great and add a pop of color.
