McCormick Sesame Seed

Transform your cooking with McCormick Sesame Seeds, the versatile pantry staple that adds a distinctive nutty flavor and delicate crunch to countless dishes across multiple cuisines. These small, flat seeds are a cornerstone ingredient in Asian, Middle Eastern, and Mediterranean cooking traditions. McCormick sesame seeds deliver a mild, sweet, and nutty taste that becomes more pronounced when toasted. Raw sesame seeds work beautifully sprinkled over salads, breads, and rolls, while toasting them in a dry skillet for 2-3 minutes releases their deeper, more complex flavors. They're essential for making tahini, a creamy sesame paste used in hummus and Mediterranean dips, and are the star ingredient in homemade halvah and other traditional sweets. In the kitchen, sesame seeds excel as both a garnish and a key flavor component. Sprinkle them over stir-fries, noodle dishes, and rice bowls for added texture, or incorporate them into bread doughs, bagels, and crackers for authentic flavor. They're indispensable for Asian dishes like sesame chicken, Korean bulgogi, and Japanese goma-ae (sesame-dressed vegetables). For baking enthusiasts, these seeds add wonderful texture to cookies, granola bars, and artisanal breads. Store your sesame seeds in an airtight container in a cool, dry place, and consider keeping toasted seeds on hand for quick flavor enhancement. McCormick's trusted quality ensures consistent results whether you're preparing weeknight dinners or exploring traditional recipes from around the world.
