Black sesame is a cousin of the classic white sesame. Its flavor is more intense and distinct, nutty, which makes it an ideal addition to seasoning salads or marinating meat and vegetables. It goes perfectly with chickpea purees, can be used as breadcrumbs for fish and for sprinkling hamburger buns, and combined with honey or maple syrup in baked goods.

Like white sesame, black sesame can be eaten raw or cooked. It is appreciated for its nutty flavor and crunch. Black sesame is valued because it is a paddy variety that contains more fiber and nutritional value.
