Black Sesame Seeds - high in fibre, suitable as a topping in both savoury and sweet dishes
Black Sesame Seeds are a versatile ingredient which will be a great addition to your recipes. They have a more nutty flavour and high fibre content. They are rich in unsaturated fats. Unsaturated fatty acids themselves contribute to the maintenance of normal cholesterol levels when you replace saturated fats with them. Black sesame is popularly used as a topping or part of savoury and sweet dishes.
It will nicely spice up a variety of dishes, where it can be used, for example, on bread, rolls, buns, pizza rolls or other homemade baked goods. However, black sesame seeds are also an integral part of Asian cuisine, where they are used in soups, but also in various sauces with noodles or rice. They are also perfect for sushi or grilled meat, or alternatives such as tofu, seitan or jackfruit. They add crunch and a stronger flavour to salads and can also reliably fit into a variety of dressings or sauces.
Black sesame seeds, however, also make a great addition to homemade sweet bars. It also excels in honey balls and a variety of cakes or cookies. So it's sure not to be left sitting in your kitchen, whether you're preparing a savoury or sweet treat today.
