100% Hulled Sesame Seeds

Sesame seeds are tiny, flat seeds that come from the Sesamum indicum plant. They are typically hulled, meaning their outer coating is removed, to make them softer and easier to digest. The seeds are a good source of healthy fats, protein, and fiber.

Hulled sesame seeds are often used whole or ground in baked goods like breads, crackers, and cookies for added texture and a nutty flavor. They are also a key ingredient in tahini (sesame paste), which is used in dips like hummus and as a base for dressings and sauces.

Hulled sesame seeds are generally recognized by the FDA as safe (GRAS) when used as a food ingredient. They are a nutrient-dense food, providing beneficial fatty acids, vitamins, and minerals. International bodies like EFSA have evaluated sesame as a food ingredient. While generally considered healthy, some individuals may have allergies to sesame.
