Sesame seeds are a staple of Turkish baking and cooking, and this 150 g Bodrum pouch is labelled as a 100% natural product. The pouch has a resealable top, which makes it easy to keep the seeds fresh after you open it.
The classic use is on simit, the ring-shaped bread dipped in grape molasses and sesame, as well as on pide, bagels, bread rolls, börek and cookies such as çörek and kurabiye. Scattered over salads, roasted vegetables, rice or yoghurt dips they add a gentle nutty crunch, and a few minutes in a dry pan until golden deepens the aroma further. You can also grind toasted seeds with a little oil to make your own tahini for hummus or sauces.
Store the pouch closed in a cool, dry place away from direct light. Please note that sesame is a recognised allergen.
