Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is the difference between Black and White Sesame?
Answer: Black Sesame Seeds are unhulled (skin intact), which gives them a stronger flavor, more crunch, and higher calcium content. White Sesame Seeds have had the hull removed, making them softer and milder.
2. Are your seeds dyed black?
Answer: Absolutely not. We supply only Natural Black sesame seeds. You can test this by rubbing the seeds with water; if the water turns black like ink, it is dyed. Our seeds are naturally dark and safe.
3. Is this suitable for pressing oil?
Answer: Yes. Black Sesame Oil is a premium product in Asian markets. Our seeds have high oil content (>48%) and produce a rich, dark, aromatic oil suitable for culinary and medicinal use.
4. Is it Sortex Cleaned?
Answer: Yes. For export, we strictly supply 99.95% Sortex Cleaned seeds. This machine process removes all dust, stones, and immature seeds, making it ready for direct food application.
5. What is the shelf life?
Answer: Because the outer hull is intact, Black Sesame seeds have a longer shelf life than white seeds. They stay fresh for 18 to 24 months when stored in a cool, dry place.
