Sesame seeds are a versatile ingredient available in a range of colors, including white, brown, black, red, and yellow. These seeds are de-corticated to remove the black skin before packaging, with darker seeds offering the most flavor. Sesame seeds have a nutty, fresh burst-in-the-mouth flavor, commonly used as a topping for bread and buns. They are also sprinkled over salads and stir-fries in Asian cuisine. Ground sesame is the main ingredient in Tahini, a staple paste in the Middle East, and is used in seed bars, chicken dishes, and rice dishes.
