Japanese black sesame seeds – 日本産洗い胡麻　黒 – 50g

Rare Japanese black sesame seeds.

Our black sesame seeds are washed raw sesame seeds.

We sell them raw because they tend to lose their flavor when heated.

Please roast them lightly in a frying pan before consumption.
(You can eat them as they are, but roasting them enhances their aroma and flavor and makes them tastier.)

Washed sesame seeds are harvested, sorted, washed and dried.

Sesame seeds contain fat, protein, carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals, dietary fiber, and other nutrients necessary for the body in each small grain.

Sesame seeds are classified into black, white, and yellow (golden) sesame seeds according to their color.

Each type of sesame seed differs slightly in oil content, taste, and aroma.

Black sesame seeds contain less oil than white and yellow sesame seeds and have a stronger and richer flavor with a unique aroma.

They are mainly used in dishes such as sesame paste and sesame salt.
