Badia Hulled Sesame Seed, 4.5 oz

Hulled sesame seeds with the outer husk removed, leaving a pale ivory seed that's milder, sweeter, and less bitter than the natural variety. Toasting in a dry pan unlocks a deep nutty aroma that defines dishes across East Asia and the Middle East.

Common Uses

Ground into tahini for hummus and baba ganoush. Pressed into the crust of Chinese sesame chicken and stir-fried green beans. Folded into Japanese gomae spinach, sprinkled over sushi rolls, or pounded with salt for gomashio. Topping for burger buns, bagels, lavash, and simit. Stirred into Korean banchan dressings.

Cuisine Context

A staple in Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and Levantine kitchens. Hulled seeds are preferred when you want clean nuttiness without the slight bitterness of the hull — essential for tahini, halva, and refined pastry work. Cooks reach for them whenever a dish needs visible garnish that also delivers flavor.

Pro Tip

Toast in a dry skillet over medium heat, shaking constantly, until they turn golden and start to jump — about 3 minutes. Pull them off immediately; carryover heat will burn them in seconds.
