Organic Toasted Sesame Seeds

Toasted sesame seeds are whole sesame seeds that have been heated to bring out a nutty flavor and aroma. They are the seeds of the *Sesamum indicum* plant, which is grown in many parts of the world. Toasting is typically done in an oven or on a stovetop.

Toasted sesame seeds are used to add a rich, nutty flavor and a crunchy texture to foods. They are often sprinkled on top of baked goods, salads, and stir-fries, or incorporated into dressings, marinades, and spice blends.

Sesame seeds are considered a whole food and are a source of healthy fats, protein, and fiber. The FDA lists sesame as a major food allergen. There are no specific health concerns associated with the typical consumption of toasted sesame seeds as part of a balanced diet. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated sesame and its components.
