Sesame seeds

Also called: Sisin (Soomaali) · Graines de sésame (Français) · سمسم (العربية)

Good to know

Hulled white sesame seeds are the everyday kind; Middle Eastern, Indian and Somali grocers sell them in bulk and restock often. They’re oily and can go rancid, so smell them before using. Toasting brings out their nutty flavour.
