Mitake Roasted White Sesame Seeds, 45 g

£1.59

5 / 5

22 reviews

Roasted white sesame seeds used for baking and cooking. This natural food can be sprinkled on breads and pastries, or cakes and biscuits. Savoury dishes such as stir-frys and rice dishes can also benefit from an extra sesame taste.

ITEM ID: #1489

Background

Sesame seeds are popular in all Asian cuisine and are a common ingredient in various Japanese dishes too. They can be used in both sweet or savoury dishes to give a delicious roasted, nutty flavour. White sesame seeds have been hulled, and the removal of this outer husk removes a layer of bitterness and allows for a more mellow savoury flavour.
