How to Use

As these seeds are raw and unprocessed, they require a few simple steps to unlock their full flavor:

1. **Rinse:** Before use, place the seeds in a fine-mesh sieve and rinse them thoroughly under cool water to remove any dust or natural debris.

2. **Toast:** For the best flavor and aroma, dry-toast the rinsed seeds in a skillet over low to medium heat. Stir constantly for 3-5 minutes until they become fragrant and begin to make a gentle popping sound.

3. **Enjoy:** Once cooled, the toasted seeds are ready. Sprinkle them over salads, yogurt, and stir-fries. Grind them into a powder for baking, or blend them to create delicious homemade black sesame paste, fillings, and desserts.

For optimal freshness, keep the seeds in an airtight container after opening to protect them from moisture and pests.

Notes
