What it is
Organic ground sesame is made from sesame seeds that are grown without the use of synthetic pesticides or fertilizers. The seeds are typically toasted and then ground into a powder or paste. It is a nutrient-dense ingredient with a rich, nutty flavor.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use organic ground sesame as a flavor enhancer and thickener in various food products. It is commonly found in dips, spreads like hummus, baked goods, and sauces. Its nutty taste and creamy texture add depth and richness to these foods.
Health notes
Organic ground sesame is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a good source of healthy fats, protein, and minerals like calcium and iron. The World Health Organization (WHO) has not established a numeric acceptable daily intake (ADI) for sesame seeds. Evidence suggests that moderate consumption as part of a balanced diet is safe and potentially beneficial due to its nutrient profile.
Allergen info
Sesame is one of the nine major food allergens recognized by the FDA. Organic ground sesame is derived from sesame seeds and is therefore a major allergen.
