Otogi Roasted Black Sesame Seeds 120g

Roasted black sesame seeds, known as heukimja (흑임자) in Korean, are a versatile and nutty ingredient used widely in Korean cuisine. These seeds from Otogi are carefully roasted to develop a deep, rich, and toasty flavour with a slightly more intense and earthy profile than white sesame seeds. Their distinctive taste and crunchy texture make them an excellent finishing touch for a variety of dishes. Sprinkle them over rice bowls, salads, noodle dishes, or steamed vegetables to add flavour and a pleasing crunch. They are also commonly used in marinades for meat, ground into a paste for desserts, or used as a key ingredient in gomasio, a Japanese sesame salt condiment. For best results, store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve their freshness and aromatic qualities. These seeds are a simple way to add authentic Korean flavour to your everyday meals.
