What Can I Do With Sesame Seeds?
Sesame seeds can be used in a variety of ways in cooking and baking. They are often sprinkled on top of breads and rolls before baking, added to salads for crunch, and used as a coating for chicken or fish before frying. Ground sesame seeds, also known as sesame paste or tahini, can be used to make hummus, salad dressings, and sauces. Sesame oil, which is pressed from the seeds, is commonly used in Asian cooking for stir-fries and marinades. Sesame seeds can also be used to make candy, such as sesame brittle, and are a popular ingredient in Middle Eastern sweets like halva.
