A striking, tiny seed with a slightly stronger, earthier flavor than its white counterpart, black sesame seeds are prized both for their bold visual contrast and their rich, nutty taste. Popular in East Asian, Indian, and Middle Eastern cooking, they're used in everything from savory garnishes to desserts.
Flavours: Nutty, earthy, slightly bitter, with a deeper, more robust taste than white sesame seeds
How to Use: Dry-roast to enhance their nutty aroma before sprinkling over salads, noodles, breads, or rice dishes as a garnish. Also ground into pastes for desserts and confections, or mixed into laddoos, bars, and baked goods for a distinctive look and flavor.
