These rich, nutty, subtly sweet sesame seeds come from Osaka’s Wadaman Co. Ltd., a top producer of sesame products for more than 130 years. Fourth-generation owner Etsuji Wada has roasted the seeds himself for over four decades—and his expertise produces seeds in a class all their own. The strong, fresh sesame flavor shines when crushed in salad dressings, garnished over baked goods or mixed into a DIY seasoning blend, such as furikake or dukkah. We appreciate that it comes in a resealable package to preserve its flavor and prolong shelf life. Oh, and what makes unhulled sesame so superior? Hulled sesame seeds contain heat-sensitive oil that turns bitter when using regular home equipment. Buying store-bought toasted, unhulled versions ensure the seeds are equally (and expertly) toasted and full of flavor.
