Toasted white sesame seeds offer a deeper, more pronounced nuttiness than raw sesame seeds, with a warm, roasted aroma. Use them to prepare tahini, sprinkle over freshly baked bread, or toss into salads for added texture and flavor. Because toasting fully develops their oils and taste, they are best added as a finishing touch after cooking. With a natural oil content of approximately 50%, store toasted sesame seeds in the freezer to preserve freshness and extend shelf life.
