Black Sesame Seeds

Everyday

Black sesame seeds are small, oil-rich seeds characterized by their distinctive black color and slightly more intense, nutty flavor compared to white sesame seeds. These seeds are a good source of minerals like calcium, iron, and magnesium, as well as antioxidants. They are commonly used in Asian cuisines, both as a garnish and as a flavoring agent in desserts, baked goods, and savory dishes, adding visual appeal and a subtle crunch.
