About Product

Hulled sesame seeds, also known as white sesame seeds, have a long and interesting history.

They have been cultivated in the Middle East and India since ancient times and are used as condiments and even currency.

Sesame seeds were also an important part of Jewish religious ceremonies, being used as a symbol of prosperity. In the 19th century, sesame seed oil became a popular cooking ingredient, and hulled sesame seeds were used in baking and as a topping for bread and other dishes.

Today, hulled sesame seeds are widely used in Asian, Middle Eastern, and Indian cuisines and are a popular ingredient in hummus, tahini, and other dishes.
