What do these black sesame seeds taste and feel like?

The seeds have a pronounced nutty and slightly creamy flavor, with a crisp, seedy mouthfeel that adds texture to many dishes.

How should I store and prepare the seeds for best results?

Keep the bag sealed and stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain freshness; refrigeration extends shelf life for opened packages. For most uses, a quick dry-toast in a skillet or a 3–5 minute oven roast enhances aroma — stir constantly to avoid burning. If using ground, a spice grinder or food processor produces a fine paste or powder depending on processing time.

• Store sealed in a cool, dark cupboard or refrigerate after opening
• Dry-toast briefly to deepen flavor; avoid charring
• Grind for pastes, sauces, or baking blends as needed
• Use within recommended shelf time for peak taste and texture
