As far as can be determined, sesame is the world's oldest oil-producing plant. Except for Africa and Asia, where sesame is eaten more like a grain, people throughout the world value sesame primarily for the oil pressed from it. This oil is rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids, also known as one of the “healthy fats” Thus, it makes a good choice for cooking oil or salad dressings. African slaves brought sesame seeds to this country because they were considered good luck. In Africa they are known as "benne" seeds, which you might see called for in Southern cookbooks. Ingredients: Sesame seeds.

I bake a lot, and white sesame is my favorite topping, so a go through it quickly. These packets are convenient, self-sealing, and very fresh.
White Sesame seeds are fresh, fragrant, plump - I love making polka dots on my baked breads or pastries with them. They also stand up to be part of this irresistible sesame-honey candy. The taste and bite are just right!
