Sesame Seeds 1kg

Sesame Seeds

Sesame Seeds 1kg are a versatile kitchen staple with a mild, naturally nutty flavour and delicate crunch. Used across Asian, Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cooking, these small seeds are an easy way to add texture and a toasted, savoury note to everything from noodles and stir-fries to bread, salads and roasted vegetables.

Toast sesame seeds briefly in a dry pan to bring out their nuttiness, then scatter them over teriyaki chicken, Korean-style dishes, rice bowls or sesame noodles. They’re equally useful mixed into bread dough, sprinkled over burger buns and bagels, stirred through granola or blended to make homemade tahini.

At i4C, we always find sesame seeds are one of those ingredients that quickly earn their space in the cupboard. A handful can finish a bowl of noodles or crispy chilli beef in seconds, while the generous 1kg pack gives you plenty for baking, batch cooking and regular menu prep.

Sesame seeds can be used without toasting, but gently heating them develops a deeper, more pronounced nutty flavour. Toast them in a dry frying pan over a moderate heat, stirring regularly and removing them once they become fragrant and lightly golden.

Can you make tahini from sesame seeds?

Yes. Tahini is essentially a paste made from ground sesame seeds. Toasting the seeds first creates a deeper flavour before they are blended until smooth, often with a small amount of neutral oil to help achieve the desired consistency.
