| Black sesame seed, one of the world's oldest spices, is probably of African origin, but is now grown in Guatemala, throughout southern Asia, and in the Mediterranean. These small, flat, ovals emit a mildly nutty aroma and have a rich, earthy taste. They are popular in Chinese and Japanese cooking, often adding a touch of drama as a garnish to a dish. |

Toss INDIA TREE Black Sesame Seeds into a salad or vegetable dish just before serving; use them to coat fish such as ahi tuna before cooking to create a crunchy outer shell; combine with soy sauce to dress a Japanese noodle salad; sprinkle over the dough for a flatbread or Turkish pita. |
