An everyday pantry choice

White sesame seeds are an adaptable pantry ingredient for tempering, sweets, chutneys, breads and everyday toppings.

Taste profile

Mild and creamy when raw, becoming distinctly nutty and fragrant after light toasting.

Ideas to try

• Toast for laddus, chikki, chutney and podi
• Sprinkle over breads, salads, noodles and stir-fries
• Use in tahini-style pastes and sesame fillings

Helpful preparation note

Toast on low heat until lightly golden and aromatic, then transfer immediately to a cool plate. Sesame can move from toasted to burnt very quickly.

Care instructions

Sesame contains natural oils, so protect it from heat, air and light. Keep airtight and refrigerate for extended storage in warm weather.
