Best Freshest

Z Natural raw sesame seeds are the best. I have tasted many sesame seeds over the years, but these are really over the top good. I have used the sesame seeds for many recipes, including sauté vegetables. I have used them on top of salmon as a delicate crust I have added them to honey oatmeal, and. Nut cookies and the outcome it’s always positive. The seeds are very airy, and they don’t clump when you pour them out of the package which means that they are fresh, they smell terrific you can toast them a little bit to give them that toasty flavor. They are so versatile and healthy. I have added them in a paste to hummus the list goes on. Thank you Z Natural foods.
