McCormick Culinary Whole Sesame Seed, 16.0 oz

McCormick Culinary White Sesame Seeds add a crunchy texture and a mildly nutty taste to all your favorite recipes. Do you want to intensify the flavor of your dish? Try toasting whole sesame seeds and sprinkling over sushi, Asian stir-fries, or coatings for fish, meat or noodle dishes. Add them to rice, chicken, salads and even desserts. For a contrasting, bold garnish, mix them with black sesame seeds. If you want to dress up your best recipes with stunning presentation elements, sesame seeds can help. White sesame seeds complement light dishes and provide striking contrast against dark foods. Whether you want to garnish a loaf of bread or add depth to noodle dishes with rich sauces, sesame seeds have the versatility for the job. Although sesame seeds taste great raw, toasting them enhances their crunchy texture and nutty flavor. Mouthwatering recipes that use sesame seeds include tahini, dukkah, Asian salmon, chicken yakitori and Chinese chicken salad. If you want to try one of these dishes, you'll appreciate how easy it is to toast whole sesame seeds. Toast your sesame seeds in the oven for the best results, and start by preheating your oven to 350 degrees. Use foil or parchment paper to line a rimmed baking sheet for easy cleanup. Arrange your seeds on a prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Toast then until they're fragrant and golden brown while occasionally stirring for about eight to 10 minutes. Next, remove your tray from the oven and immediately move the seeds to a plate to cool. Store seeds in a freezer storage bag in the freezer for up to one year. You can also store seeds in an airtight container in the pantry for six months. Whole sesame seeds from McCormick come in large 16-ounce containers, perfect for professional use. The lid includes both spoon and shaker dispensing options, and the bottle's sides are flat for added convenience.
