Description
HQOExpress organic whole sesame seeds are mild and nutty. Sesame seeds were possibly one of the first condiments, and one of the first plants used for their oil. Legends say that the gods drank sesame seed wine the night before they created the earth. The sesame plant produces these seeds, which fall off upon maturity. To harvest, the whole plant is cut just a few inches above the ground and hung upside down in a bag. The sesame plant-filled bag is suspended for up to 3 weeks, until the raw, white sesame seeds have fallen, and are then sifted, hulled and stored. Our sesame seeds are 100% USDA Certified oragnic and sourced in Bolivia, China, and India. Grown and processed herbicide and pesticide free, the resulting pure sesame seeds are non-GMO, kosher and gluten free, and are supplied in a convenient chef jar. This versatile ingredient is a perfect topping for sweet and savory baked goods, natural sesame seeds provide a little nutty crunch that makes a great addition to soups and salads. An essential in Asian cuisines, whole sesame seeds perfectly complement a soy sauce stir fry, and raw white sesame seeds can be toasted for even more flavor and aroma.
