Raw sesame seeds are subtle and slightly bitter. Toasted sesame seeds are transformed by dry heat which activates their natural oils, producing a deeply nutty, golden, aromatic flavor that’s incomparable to raw.

Most recipes that call for sesame seeds intend for toasted seeds. If a recipe just says “sesame seeds,” toasted is almost always what they mean for finishing dishes, stir fry garnish, ramen topping, salad dressing, sushi rice.

Rodelle Toasted Sesame Seeds are pre-toasted to the ideal golden color every time. Customers appreciate having perfectly toasted sesame seeds ready whenever they cook. Instead of monitoring a skillet and risking uneven toasting, they can simply open the container and add instant flavor, crunch, and visual appeal to finished dishes.
