Organic Hulled Sesame Seeds

Sesame seeds are small, flat seeds that grow in pods on the Sesamum indicum plant. They are typically hulled, meaning their outer shell is removed, to make them easier to digest and use in cooking. The seeds are a good source of healthy fats, protein, and fiber.

Manufacturers use hulled sesame seeds as a source of flavor and texture in a variety of foods. They are often toasted to enhance their nutty taste. You can find them in baked goods, sprinkled on salads and stir-fries, or ground into tahini paste.

Hulled sesame seeds are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. They are a nutrient-dense food, providing healthy fats, protein, fiber, vitamins, and minerals. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated sesame and its components. Evidence suggests that regular consumption of sesame seeds as part of a balanced diet may contribute to overall health.
