Kevala Organic Black Toasted Sesame Seeds - 2 lb, 32 oz, Baking and Cooking

My mom has been looking for organic black sesame seeds for a long time, but we could never find them in local supermarkets. I’m so glad we finally found this organic roasted black sesame on Amazon! The aroma is amazing the moment you open the bag, and the seeds are plump, fresh, and full of flavor. They have a wonderful nutty taste and add so much to our cooking and baking. It’s especially nice that they are organic and roasted, which really brings out the fragrance. Definitely a great buy—we will be ordering again!

These seeds are very good and great to work with to make a dramatic looking dish. The differences between these black seeds and the more common white seeds are pretty subtle – they taste about the same but I think have a little more “nutty” flavor. These Kevala blacks are lightly and uniformly toasted and are easy to use in just about any dish using sesame seeds. As far as I know there are no special health benefits to black over white seeds and they have about the same nutritional value as a supplier of calcium, iron, magnesium, phosphorous, manganese, copper, zinc, fiber, thiamine, vitamin B6, foliate, protein, and tryptophan. These are probably the healthiest seeds you can get. Sometimes I like to cook with these black sesame seeds because they look dramatic (who ever expects black sesame seeds?). And they make a startling-looking garnish on noodles, eggs, vegetables, and whatever else you'd care to try them on – but they can look a little off-putting in baking cookies or pastries. Here is my absolutely favorite dish using black sesame seeds: Sesame Tuna. It's simple and delicious and you'll find yourself making this often: Make a Marinade with ¼ cup soy sauce 2 chopped garlic cloves 1 tablespoon sesame oil 1 tablespoon rice vinegar 1 tablespoon mirin (Japanese cooking rice wine) 1/8 teaspoon ground ginger 1 teaspoon honey I teaspoon finely minced scallion Extra marinade can be made to use as a dipping sauce other ingredients: 2 ahi tuna steaks (or good yellowfin tuna steaks – not bluefin) black and white sesame seeds (maybe 1/4 cup each) 1-prepare the marinade in a covered bowl. Marinate the tuna steaks in the fridge for a couple of hours 2-Remove the tuna and coat with a mixture of the black and white sesame seeds 3-Fry in a skillet 2-3 minutes per side (center of tuna steaks should be rare!) Serve with a side of white long-grain rice and a small bowl of dipping sauce. Yum!

Massive 2lb bag of delicious nutty, crispy black sesame seeds, so far I’m definitely buying again and highly recommend!

When ground into sesame powder, the sesame fragrance overflows. Add it to milk or soy milk, which is nutritious and delicious.

I never had black sesame seeds before but read that they are good for the kidneys so purchased these. They are fresh, tasty, crunchy and I use them in many different types of food, they add that bit of "pizazz" to any dish. Highly recommend!

There's a LOT of seeds. The seeds are tiny, perhaps because they are organic. They are really tasty, more so than the white toasted ones. I like to sprinkle them on food/rice, as well as eat them plain like a snack. Great value, recommend!

toasty

Pretty good taste! I would buy again.

I open it. It smells so fresh with amazing smell. I grind it and put a spoon to my frosted soy milk. It is so delicious. Except a bit expensive though it is organic.

Muy buenas, y mucho mejor que las no-tostadas. Pero no siempre estan disponibles.

GOOD
