Without the farmers, none of this would be possible. We’re dedicated to their success, and that doesn’t just mean the success of their crops. To reach our goal of improving the resilience of the smallholder farming communities in India who grow our five iconic herbs and spices, we will continue to improve their livelihoods, empower women with access to education and skills training, and invest in water purification systems to facilitate clean drinking water.

FROM FARMING—TO OUR FUTURE

The future has to be sustainable, that’s why we’re dedicated to making a measurable impact with how our farms operate. Initiatives to help reduce our environmental impact include supporting farmers in implementing integrated pest management systems and teaching biodynamic farming practices to eradicate the need for chemicals. We’re also working with partners to prevent deforestation by promoting more sustainable land management practices.

Black sesame seeds add an exotic touch to any dish in which white sesame seeds would be appropriate. (I tend to use a mixture of both.) I was delighted to run across these at Amazon. I ordered several bottles and have already used up one jar. The seeds are good quality.

The secret to using black sesame seeds is to add just enough and not too much. Most dishes that include sesame seeds are enhanced by adding a small amount of black sesame seeds -- in addition to the white ones. The flavor difference is subtle, yet enticing.

Black sesame seeds are one of the world's healthiest foods. Just a small serving has significant amounts of Vitamin B12, copper, manganese, calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, iron, zinc, fiber and more. Just be aware the calories are very high. Most people will use just a small sprinkle once per day in their food. As for this specific brand, I have no complaints. They shake out nicely and taste just like any quality black sesame seeds I have ever had.

Great flavor! It was the first time I had purchased the black. I used it to make my homemade version of Tahini and then I took to create a dairy free Lemon Sauce. Everyone loved and could not believe that it was a dairy free lemon sauce!

Perfect for sushi making. When I roll inside-out sushi (rice on the outside), I sprinkle these & toasted sesame seeds on the rice before I flip the nori wrap over.
