Raw Hulled Sesame Seeds

Ingredients
Raw hulled sesame seeds.
Usage Tips
Sesame seeds can be used in both savoury dishes and sweet desserts. Add sesame seeds into the batter the next time you make homemade bread, muffins or cookies. Sesame seeds also add a great touch to steamed broccoli sprinkled with lemon juice. Try combining sesame seeds with rice vinegar, tamari or soy sauce and crushed garlic to create a delicious dressing for salads, vegetables and noodles.
For a quick, Asian inspired dinner, sauté chicken with sesame seeds, tamari or soy sauce, garlic, ginger and your favourite vegetables.
Toasting sesame seeds helps to bring out their full, nutty flavor. To toast sesame seeds, place the seeds in a dry pan over medium heat, or on a sheet in a 275ºF oven, until golden and fragrant, about 5 minutes.
Storage Tips
Sesame seeds should be stored in the refrigerator since the high oil content can cause the seeds to go rancid.
