Badia Sesame Seed Black, 16 Ounces, 6 Per Case

Badia Black Sesame Seeds bring a deeper, more robust flavor to your kitchen than traditional white sesame. Sourced from Sesamum Indicum, these premium seeds are naturally higher in protein and deliver a richer, nuttier taste that elevates everything from simple weeknight stir-fries to restaurant-quality presentations.

Uses

• Sprinkle over fish, salads, and baked breads for a crunchy, flavorful finish
• Stir into sauces and dressings for added depth and texture
• Coat sushi rolls and onigiri for authentic Asian presentation
• Toss into stir-fries and noodle bowls during the final minute of cooking
• Use as a garnish on soups, rice bowls, and vegetable dishes

Who Would Benefit

Home cooks who love Asian cuisine, professional chefs seeking a reliable pantry staple, meal preppers looking for nutrient-dense toppings, and anyone adding plant-based protein sources to their diet. The 6-case format is especially practical for restaurants, catering operations, and busy households that go through sesame seeds regularly.
