white sesame

Light tahini ingredient

White sesame refers to the pale, unhulled or lightly hulled seeds of the sesame plant, distinguished from black sesame by their milder, nuttier flavor.

They're the most common variety worldwide, used whole as a garnish, ground into tahini, or pressed for oil: Toast the white sesame seeds before adding them to the salad.
