Organic Natural Sesame Seeds

Organic Natural Sesame Seeds come with their outer hull, giving them a brown colour compared to the lighter organic hulled sesame seeds. These versatile seeds are loved worldwide and are perfect for making whole seed tahini, a key ingredient in dishes from North Africa, Turkey, and Greece.

Packed with nutrients, these tiny seeds are high in calcium, manganese, iron, copper, plus they’re a good source of Thiamin (B1), Pyridoxine (B6), magnesium, phosphorus, and zinc (per 30g serving).

These seeds have a really impressive range of nutrients and are particularly high in calcium which makes them a popular choice in vegan diets. Although they are small, sesame seeds pack a powerful punch and are used in Asia as a garnish and in delicious desserts. You may have been lucky enough to try halva which is a sesame based treat from the Middle East.

Fancy experimenting? Try making sesame milk, a calcium-rich, dairy-free alternative that’s perfect for plant-based diets.

We also stock organic black sesame seeds which have a more intense flavour and organic hulled sesame seeds which have the hull removed.

Quick Ideas for Using Organic Sesame Seeds:

  • Sprinkle on salads or stir-fries for extra crunch.
  • Mix into sticky rice or noodle dishes.
  • Blend into hummus or tahini sauce.
  • Bake into breads, tortillas, or homemade naans.

Family Tip:

  1. We grind hulled and whole sesame seeds in hummus recipes and as a coating for our energy bars.
  2. We add them to seed mixes which we use in a whole host of recipes including baking and stir fries.
  3. They are particularly tasty sprinkled on stir-fried spring greens.
