Slightly waxy in appearance and faintly nutty in aroma, white sesame seeds are used to flavor breads and baked goods similar to poppy seeds. Sprinkle over salads, noodle dishes, and even desserts. Add to spices for blends like Dukkah, Za’atar, and Togarashi. Toss with salt for a vegetable seasoning, or grind to a paste to make homemade tahini. When stored properly in an airtight container, white sesame seeds will last a year in the pantry.
