Frequently Asked Questions

How do black sesame seeds differ from white ones? Black sesame seeds have a slightly more intense, nuttier flavor and are richer in certain antioxidants compared to white hulled sesame. Nutritionally they are very similar, but black seeds retain their hull, which adds extra fiber and minerals.

Do they need to be roasted before eating? Lightly toasting brings out the best flavor from black sesame seeds. Raw seeds are safe to eat but toasting makes them more fragrant and digestible.
