Roasted sesame seeds are one of the small essentials of the Asian kitchen, tiny seeds toasted to release their full character. Roasting is the key: it transforms the raw seed into something rich, nutty, and aromatic with a satisfying, delicate crunch, ready to garnish and to flavour across the whole menu. This product is offered in both colours, so a kitchen can reach for the right one for the dish.

The White seeds are pale golden with a rich, nutty, subtly sweet flavour and an elegant, understated look, the everyday choice for scattering over rice, salads, and sushi, for pressing into coatings, and for grinding into gomashio and goma-ae dressings. The Black seeds are bolder and more dramatic: left unhulled, they carry a more intense, deeply nutty, almost smoky flavour and a striking glossy black colour that creates powerful contrast on pale rice, white fish, or cream, and shines in black sesame desserts and confectionery.

Both share the same satisfying crunch and versatility, working equally well as a finishing garnish, a coating for seared fish and fried foods, an ingredient in dressings, sauces, and breads, and a base for classic sesame seasonings. Supplied ready roasted in practical 1kg packs, they are an everyday finishing staple, with the choice of a subtle or a dramatic effect.
