Sesame seed

Sesame seeds are tiny, flat seeds that come from the sesame plant. They are commonly used in cooking and baking to add flavour and texture to dishes. Sesame seeds are known for their slightly nutty taste and are often sprinkled on top of bread, buns, or salads.

Sesame seeds are typically produced by collecting the mature seed pods of the sesame plant and then extracting the seeds. These seeds are then cleaned, dried, and sometimes roasted to enhance their flavour before being used in various culinary applications.

Sesame seeds are frequently listed on food labels due to their versatility in adding a crunch to dishes like stir-fries, salads, or baked goods. They can also be processed into sesame oil, a common cooking oil in many cuisines. Sesame seeds are a key ingredient in foods like hummus, tahini, and sesame snaps, offering a unique taste and nutritional benefits.
