Fox's Spices Black Sesame Seeds 650g

Black Sesame Seeds

Fox's Spices Black Sesame Seeds 650g are small but packed with flavour, bringing a gently nutty taste and a lovely toasty aroma to both savoury and sweet cooking. Black sesame seeds have a slightly deeper, more robust flavour than pale sesame, and they add instant visual contrast as a finishing touch or mixed through doughs, batters and coatings. Sprinkle them over stir fries, noodle bowls, salads and roasted vegetables, press them onto salmon or tofu before baking, or stir them into breads, crackers and homemade granola. If you are looking to buy black sesame seeds for cooking at home, this larger pack is ideal for regular use, whether you are topping sushi style rice bowls, making a sesame crust, or adding crunch to everyday meals.

Do black sesame seeds need to be toasted?

They do not have to be toasted, but a quick dry toast in a frying pan for a minute or two brings out a warmer, nuttier aroma and makes them taste fuller. Keep them moving and take them off the heat as soon as they smell fragrant to avoid bitterness.

What is black sesame paste and can I make it at home?

Black sesame paste is made by grinding black sesame seeds into a smooth, rich paste, sometimes with a little oil or sweetener depending on how it is used. You can make a simple version by toasting the seeds lightly, then blending them until they release their oils and turn creamy, which is brilliant for desserts, swirls in yoghurt, or stirring into porridge.

Why do black sesame seeds turn food grey or purple?

Black sesame seeds contain natural pigments in the outer hull that can tint batters, rice and sauces, especially when heated or mixed with liquid. That colour change is normal and is often used on purpose in baking and desserts for a dramatic, inky look.
