Compared to white sesame seeds, they have a richer, roasted flavor with a slight earthy aroma and a more pronounced crunch; because they add a dark color contrast to the plate, they are used in bakeries, bakeries, sushi bars, and restaurant kitchens as both a flavor enhancer and a presentation ingredient. The 1 kg windowed kraft packaging is a practical size for professional kitchens.  <\/p>\n<h2>What is the price of Foodco Black Sesame Seeds (1 kg)?<\/h2>\n<p><strong>The price of a 1 kg package of Foodco Black Sesame is 495 TL; that is, black sesame costs approximately 0.50 TL per gram.<\/strong> For special pricing based on quantity for bulk orders and regular purchases, please contact us <a href=\"https:\/\/santralgida.com\/en\/contact-us\/\">via the quote form<\/a> or WhatsApp. You can browse our other seeds and spices in the <a href=\"https:\/\/santralgida.com\/en\/urun-kategori\/nuts-seeds\/\">Nuts &#038; Seeds<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/santralgida.com\/en\/urun-kategori\/spices-herbs\/\">Spices &#038; Herbs<\/a> categories or <a href=\"\/katalog\/\">in our interactive catalog<\/a>. <\/p>\n<h2>What is black sesame?<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Black sesame is a black-husked variety of the same plant (Sesamum indicum) as white sesame.<\/strong>  It is usually sold with the husk still on; therefore, it is harder, crunchier, and has a more intense aroma than white (husked) sesame seeds. It is very common in Japanese, Chinese, and Korean cuisines; in Turkey, however, it has been used more frequently in professional kitchens in recent years, particularly in simit, po\u011fa\u00e7a, cookies, and sushi menus. <\/p>\n<h2>Are black sesame seeds and nigella seeds the same thing?<\/h2>\n<p><strong>No. Black sesame and black cumin are the seeds of two different plants, and their flavors are very different.<\/strong> Black cumin (Nigella sativa) consists of small, angular, and triangular seeds; its flavor is slightly bitter and peppery. Black sesame, on the other hand, consists of flat, teardrop-shaped, and shiny seeds; its flavor is toasty, oily, and nutty. Because both are dark in color, they are often confused, but using one in place of the other in a recipe will alter the result.  <\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Feature<\/strong><\/td>\n<td><strong>Foodco Black Sesame Seeds<\/strong><\/td>\n<td><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/santralgida.com\/en\/urun\/sesame-white-1000-g-doytat\/\">White Sesame<\/a><\/strong><\/td>\n<td><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/santralgida.com\/en\/urun\/black-cumin-1000-g-doytate\/\">Fennel Seeds<\/a><\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Plant<\/td>\n<td>Sesame (black-husked variety)<\/td>\n<td>Sesame (hulled)<\/td>\n<td>Nigella sativa \u2014 a different plant<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Seed shape<\/td>\n<td>Flat, teardrop-shaped, glossy<\/td>\n<td>Flat, teardrop-shaped, cream-white<\/td>\n<td>Small, angular, matte black<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Flavor<\/td>\n<td>Intense, roasted, slightly earthy<\/td>\n<td>Mellow, nutty<\/td>\n<td>Slightly bitter, peppery<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Texture<\/td>\n<td>Firmer and crunchier<\/td>\n<td>Softer<\/td>\n<td>Small, firm<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Featured Uses<\/td>\n<td>Sushi, Asian cuisine, desserts, color contrast<\/td>\n<td>Simit, tahini, bread, sesame chicken<\/td>\n<td>Cheese, rolls, buns, flatbread<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h2>Where is black sesame used?<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Black sesame seeds are used both to sprinkle on dough before baking and to sprinkle on the plate when serving; their greatest advantage is that they create a strong visual contrast against light-colored foods.<\/strong>  The areas where it is most commonly used in a professional kitchen:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Bakery and pastry shop:<\/strong> For simit, po\u011fa\u00e7a, a\u00e7ma, bread, grissini, and crackers; for mixing into cookie and pretzel dough<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sushi:<\/strong> Uramaki (rice on the outside) as an outer layer in rolls, and as a garnish in nigiri and poke bowls<\/li>\n<li><strong>Asian cuisine:<\/strong> Sesame chicken, dishes with teriyaki and gochujang glazes, noodles, Asian salads, and bowl toppings<\/li>\n<li><strong>Desserts:<\/strong> Black sesame ice cream, cheesecake, macarons, cakes, and cookies; cream and fillings made with black sesame paste<\/li>\n<li><strong>Breakfast and brunch:<\/strong> Avocado toast, eggs, labneh, and hummus, topped with granola<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sauces and coatings:<\/strong> Coatings for the edges of fish such as tuna and salmon; salad dressings<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>How do you roast black sesame seeds?<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Toast the black sesame seeds in a dry skillet over medium heat for 2\u20133 minutes, stirring constantly; remove them from the skillet immediately once their aroma becomes pronounced and the seeds begin to crackle slightly.<\/strong>  It\u2019s hard to tell by sight when they start to burn because of their black color; so pay attention to the smell, not the color.

In Asian cuisine, <a href=\"https:\/\/santralgida.com\/en\/urun\/sesame-oil-150-ml\/\">sesame<\/a> seeds are sprinkled over dishes glazed with <a href=\"https:\/\/santralgida.com\/en\/urun\/lee-kum-kee-teriyaki-sauce-1-kg\/\">teriyaki<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/santralgida.com\/en\/urun\/maeil-shin-gochujang-1-kg-korean-hot-pepper-paste\/\">gochujang<\/a>, or <a href=\"https:\/\/santralgida.com\/en\/urun\/soy-sauce-900g12-amoy\/\">soy sauce<\/a> just before serving; a few drops of sesame oil are added to enhance the aroma. <\/p>\n<h2>Allergen Information<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Sesame is listed among the allergens that must be labeled under the Turkish Food Codex.<\/strong>  You must list &#8220;sesame&#8221; as an allergen on the menu for every dish that contains black sesame seeds. For guests with a sesame allergy, be careful to avoid cross-contamination in the preparation area; use a separate bowl and spoon when sprinkling the sesame seeds. <\/p>\n<h2>How do you store black sesame seeds?<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Black sesame seeds should be stored in a cool, dry, and dark place, in their tightly sealed packaging or in an airtight container.<\/strong>  Since sesame is an oil-rich seed, it can become rancid over time when exposed to heat and air. If you won\u2019t be using an opened package for a long time, storing it in the refrigerator will help preserve its freshness. Roasted sesame goes stale faster than raw sesame; roast only as much as you need. The best-by date is printed on the package.   <\/p>\n<h2>Other seeds and decorative items<\/h2>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Product<\/strong><\/td>\n<td><strong>Usage<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><a href=\"https:\/\/santralgida.com\/en\/urun\/sesame-white-1000-g-doytat\/\">Doytat White Sesame Seeds 1 Kg<\/a><\/td>\n<td>Tahini, simit, sesame chicken; garnish mixed with black sesame seeds<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><a href=\"https:\/\/santralgida.com\/en\/urun\/sesame-seeds-for-simit-1000-g-kalben\/\">Kalben Sesame Simit 1 kg<\/a><\/td>\n<td>For simit and baked goods<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><a href=\"https:\/\/santralgida.com\/en\/urun\/black-cumin-1000-g-doytate\/\">Doytat Fennel Seeds 1 kg<\/a><\/td>\n<td>Buns, rolls, cheese, and flatbread<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><a href=\"https:\/\/santralgida.com\/en\/urun\/poppy-blue-1000-g-doytate\/\">Doytat Blue Poppy Seeds 1 Kg<\/a><\/td>\n<td>Poppy seed rolls, cakes, and bread<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><a href=\"https:\/\/santralgida.com\/en\/urun\/flaxseed-1000-g-doytate\/\">Doytat Flaxseed 1 Kg<\/a> \/ <a href=\"https:\/\/santralgida.com\/en\/urun\/chia-seeds-500-g-10\/\">Chia Seeds<\/a><\/td>\n<td>Granola, breakfast bowls, whole-grain bread<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><a href=\"https:\/\/santralgida.com\/en\/urun\/tahini-4kg2-koska\/\">Koska Tahini 4 kg<\/a><\/td>\n<td>Hummus, tahini sauce, and desserts<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h2>Where can I buy black sesame seeds in bulk in Istanbul?<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Santral G\u0131da supplies Foodco Black Sesame (1 kg) wholesale to bakeries, pastry shops, sushi bars, restaurants, and hotels in all 39 districts of Istanbul, offering next-day delivery six days a week.<\/strong>  Sesame seeds, nigella seeds, flour, and other baking ingredients arrive in the same shipment.
