Why love it
White sesame is subtle and sweetly nutty, whilst sesame paste or tahini has a creaminess useful in vegan baking. Black sesame has a heavier, earthier flavour with a more pronounced flicker of bitterness.

Spice & herb: vanilla, poppy seed, wattleseed, bay, turmeric, sumac, mahleb, ginger
