Roasted Sesame Seeds – Toasted, Nutty & Versatile

Roasted Sesame Seeds, also known as toasted sesame seeds or til, are whole sesame seeds that have been roasted to develop a deeper, nuttier aroma and flavour. Their naturally crunchy texture and toasted character make them an easy way to add extra flavour and texture to both sweet and savoury dishes.

A versatile ingredient across Asian and Indian cooking, roasted sesame seeds are particularly popular as a garnish, topping, seasoning or chutney ingredient. They can be sprinkled over rice, noodles and vegetables, incorporated into spice blends, or ground with other ingredients to make savoury chutneys. In Korean cuisine, roasted sesame seeds are known as bokkeun-kkae and are widely used to finish dishes such as bibimbap, noodles and seasoned vegetables.
