Black Sesame
[BLAK SEH-suh-mee]
It may be tiny, but they carry centuries of flavor and tradition across Asia. Once toasted, their deep nuttiness becomes bold, earthy, and quietly comforting.
From Chinese tang yuan (glutinous rice balls) to Japanese goma dango (sesame rice balls) to Korean dasik (pressed tea cookies), black sesame transforms simple sweets into something rich, grounding, and unforgettable.
