Organic Sesame Seeds (Unhulled)

I was looking for unhulled sesame seeds with a high calcium content, and these perfectly met my needs. They are fresh, excellent quality, and have a delicious flavor that can be used in a variety of recipes, from salads to breads and smoothies. I am very satisfied and recommend them for anyone looking for a healthy and nutritious food

Terrasoul Superfoods Organic Unhulled Sesame Seeds have become a staple in our home. Packed with essential nutrients like magnesium, calcium, phosphorus, and B vitamins, these unhulled seeds are a nutritional powerhouse. The exceptional quality and great value offered by Terrasoul Superfoods makes these sesame seeds a must-have in our pantry. We love adding them to a variety of dishes, including salads, pizza, and sandwiches. What sets these seeds apart is their unhulled nature, providing even more nutritional benefits compared to hulled counterparts. The resealable packaging ensures they stay fresh over time. If you're looking to enhance the nutritional profile of your meals unhulled sesame seeds are the way to go. They've earned their permanent spot in our kitchen, and I highly recommend them to health-conscious food enthusiasts!

Sesame seeds, also known as sesame, are a superfood with a rich history of use in various culinary cultures. Native to Africa and Asia, these tiny seeds offer a wealth of nutritional benefits. They are an excellent source of healthy fats, primarily unsaturated fatty acids, which contribute to cardiovascular health. Additionally, they contain high-quality protein, fiber, and minerals such as calcium, magnesium, and iron, making them an excellent addition to vegetarian or vegan diets. I am very happy to incorporate it into my diet.

I use the unhulled light brown sesame seeds all the time. I love their smell, taste and texture, and I can eat them straight out of the bag. Sesame seeds have a very high mineral content, just like a multimineral, and with a cup of sesame seeds you can easily get 100% or more of the recommended daily value of iron, copper, magnesium, and other minerals. One of my favorite recipes with these sesame seeds is this - add two cups of unhulled sesame seeds and 12 mejdool dates (I use the mejdool dates sold by Terrasoul also) to a food processor (I happen to use a Cuisinart food processor, but any food processor would work). Run the food processor for 4-6 minutes (important to not go past this point as the mix will start to become powdery and crumbly if you go too long). When you stop at the right time, the mixture will be soft like dough and easy to shape into balls. I shape the dough into balls and call them "laddoos", a popular Indian (India) dessert that can be made from sesame seeds, among other choices of ingredients. I love my laddoos and eat them throughout the week. The clash of sesame seeds with the dates is very appealing to my taste buds and I feel a touch of my native culture with what I eat. I am also getting lots of nutrition!

These are great, seem fresh, raw, as stated, the hulls are thinner than others I have purchased - no judgment, just an observation - I expect they will be easier to grind than the thicker hulled ones for tahini. They have the hulls so the slight bitter taste as expected (love that little bite 😁). I generally use sesame seeds for making tahini when we are on a hummus jag, and the rest of the time as a garnish - tossing in salads, on breads, so 2 lbs is a bit much for the latter, wish the came in 1 lb bags, I could always buy 2 when craving hummus. I do get tired of pitching half used bags that have gone stale.

What's not to like. I grind them, otherwise no nutritional benefit. Some people toast them, I am not convinced that helps the nutritional value, only he taste, and I do not buy these for taste.

We make a lot of seared ahi tuna so we go through sesame seeds pretty fast in our house. I have found that buying these seeds in bulk off amazon is much more economical than purchasing the small ‘spice sized’ containers from my local grocery store (you get so much more and definitely ‘more bang for your buck’!). I took a photo comparing the unhulled seeds from amazon to the seeds I buy at the store and as you can see, the only real difference is the off-white color of the Terrasoul/amazon seeds. The taste is similar and so is the size. In full honesty, I had NO IDEA what ‘hulled’ versus ‘unhulled’ meant so I ordered simply based on what most closely resembled what I had already been using. Overall, I’m happy with this purchase and feel confident that I made the right decision. From here on out, I think I will always buy these in bulk off amazon rather than buying them in store, because it really does save money!

This is a great deal and the "seeds" were delicious and nice quality. The problem is that with the seeds are pieces of grit (both clear and dark, very tiny hard to see) that are both alarming to bite down on and have the potential of breaking teeth. I tried sorting the seeds to eliminate issues, but it was impossible, so I ended up throwing it out, just not worth the danger. I have purchased a lot of other products from this company and love their quality and price point, but this one is a fail.
