White sesame seeds are small, flat, oval-shaped seeds that have a mild, nutty flavor. They are rich in healthy fats, protein, fiber, and essential minerals such as calcium, iron, magnesium, and phosphorus. White sesame seeds are often used in cooking, baking, and as a garnish for a variety of dishes, including salads, breads, stir-fries, and sweets. They can be used whole, toasted, or ground into tahini, a paste commonly used in Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cuisines. The light color and subtle taste of white sesame seeds make them a versatile ingredient in both savory and sweet recipes.
