Details

With the possible exception of Africa and Asia, where sesame is eaten more like a grain, people throughout the world value sesame primarily for the oil which is pressed from it. It is the world's oldest oil-producing plant. Once sesame seeds were considered good luck, likely why they were called "benne" seeds. This is also how they are sometimes referred to in Southern cookbooks. Their fatty acids make these toasted sesame seeds a good choice for cooking oil or salad dressings. Ingredients: Sesame seeds.

Great spices but ot plastic free packaging

I love your spices and how quickly they get to me. I love that you have free shipping. My only complaint is that I wish your packaging was plastic free. That is one of the reasons I order my spices online is to avoid packaging and the plastic on the flat packs is a dealbreaker for me. If you change to plastic free let me know. Thanks!
