SESAME SEEDS 200g

Sesame seeds have a rich, nutty flavour that toasts up beautifully, a satisfying crunch, and a remarkable nutritional profile that makes them a functional food as much as a culinary one. Sprinkle over a stir-fry, press onto a tuna fillet, blend into tahini, fold into biscotti, scatter over noodles, or mix into a sesame-honey brittle.
