Packed with nutrients, healthy fats, and protein, our sesame seeds come from a farm in Banar, which is in the province of Rajasthan, India. You'll find these little gems sprinkled on everything from bagels and breadsticks to stir-fries and salads, adding a delicious, nutty taste and a satisfying crunch. They can be eaten raw, but toasting brings out their full flavor. Sesame seeds also play a starring role in tahini, which is the main ingredient in hummus. Interesting fact: A ¼ cup of sesame seeds has more calcium than an 8-ounce glass of milk!

Ingredients

Origin

Rajasthan, India

Ram Chaudhary is a third-generation farmer in Banar, a village in the Jodhpur district of Rajasthan, India. Located on the edge of the Thar Desert, Rajasthan has an incredibly diverse topology, with fertile terrain well-suited to farming. It is here that Chaudhary has cultivated sesame seeds, millets, and green gram for over 10 years using organic farming methods. With our help, he is currently in the process of applying for organic certification.

Tips for Success

Toasting sesame seeds before using them will enhance their nutty flavor and aroma. Simply spread the seeds in a single layer on a baking sheet and toast in a preheated oven at 350°F for 5-10 minutes, or until lightly golden brown. Be sure to stir them occasionally to ensure even toasting.
Use sesame seeds in baking to add flavor and texture to breads, muffins, and cookies. They can also be used to coat the exterior of baked goods for added crunch.
You can also grind sesame seeds in a food processor or mortar and pestle to make a paste. Mix with other ingredients like soy sauce, vinegar, and honey for a tasty dipping sauce.
