Retail – East End SESAME SEEDS NATURAL 1 kg

Description

East End Natural Sesame Seeds 1 kg: pale, nutty seeds ready to toast, sprinkle and bake

Natural sesame seeds are the raw, untoasted form, with a soft cream colour and a gentle nutty flavour that deepens once heated. East End supply them here in a 1 kg pack, which is a single large retail bag rather than a case, making it handy for keen bakers and kitchens that use sesame across many dishes. Toast them lightly and their aroma comes alive.

Key Features

• Raw, untoasted seeds that let you control the level of toasting yourself
• Mild, nutty taste that suits both sweet and savoury cooking
• Ideal for topping breads, bagels, burger buns and pastries before baking
• Great for stir fries, noodle bowls, salads and homemade tahini
• Large 1 kg pack that keeps frequent bakers and caterers well supplied

Cooking and Uses: Toast the seeds gently in a dry pan over a low heat until golden and fragrant, then scatter over salads, noodles and roasted vegetables. Press them onto loaves and buns before baking, blend them into tahini, or fold them through flapjacks and energy bars. Keep the pan moving, as sesame catches quickly. Storage: keep in a cool, dry place in a sealed container, and use within the date on the pack, since the natural oils can turn if left too long. Allergens: sesame is a named allergen. This product is sesame, and it may be handled in a facility that also processes nuts and other allergens. For full allergen and dietary information, always refer to the product packaging.

A: No, they are natural and untoasted, so you toast them yourself when a recipe calls for it. Q: Can I make tahini with them? A: Yes, toast lightly then blend with a little oil until smooth. Q: How should I store an opened bag? A: Seal it well and keep it cool and dry to protect the natural oils. Q: Who makes it? A: East End Foods, a Birmingham based food company.
