Did you know? History tells us that sesame seed is the first recorded seasoning, dating back to 3000 B.C. Assyria. It grows widely in India and throughout the Orient. These tiny, flat seeds come in shades of brown, red and black, but those most commonly found are a pale grayish-ivory. Sesame seed has a nutty, slightly sweet flavor that is versatile enough for use in baked goods such as breads, cakes and cookies, salads and other savory dishes.¹ (see more trivia in the Trivia tab)
