★★★★☆
Adds a nice touch
These are definitely good quality sesame seeds. They have a pleasant, earthy flavor and a good crunch that makes a difference in salads. The jar is a bit smaller than I expected for the amount of spice I typically use.

About this item
You asked for great sesame seeds, so we scoured the globe for the best we could find! Our raw, unhulled sesame seeds hail from the cradle of sesame agriculture in Turkey, where a unique climate lends them their beautiful golden color and distinctive nutty aroma. Sprinkle them over noodles and rice, mix them into salad dressings and add them as a fragrant finishing touch to stir fries. They lend a deep natural sweetness and satisfying crunch to everything they touch. These Sultan Sesame Seeds are grown from heirloom plants that thrive in rich soil, in a region home to a historic sultan’s fortress called Kal'a-i Sultaniye. Nature and nurture have combined to give them an exceptionally high sesame oil content—that’s the volatile compound that makes them so nutty and rewarding to nibble on. You can grind them into terrific tahini or simply toast them to bring out more of their flavor. And of course, top them on anything that goes into the oven, whether sweet or savory. These seeds belong on all your breads, cookies, cakes and pastries.

Best sesame seeds available
These Turkish Sultan Sesame Seeds are truly exceptional; the best I've ever used. The golden color is beautiful and they have an incredibly aromatic, nutty scent that you notice right away. Sprinkled over a simple bowl of rice or mixed into a salad dressing, they add a deep natural sweetness and a satisfying crunch that elevates the entire dish. They feel very fresh and the quality of these heirloom plants is obvious.
★★★★★

★★★☆☆
Just okay, not amazing
I was really hoping these Sultan Sesame Seeds would be a big step up for my cooking, given the description. While they do have a decent nutty flavor, I didn't find them to be as incredibly aromatic or as distinctly sweet as advertised. They work fine as a topping for stir-fries, but they aren't drastically different from some other quality brands I've tried. They're just okay for the price.
★★★★★
Amazing nutty flavor
These are the best sesame seeds; the nutty aroma and crunch are perfect.
