White Til (white sesame seeds) are small, flat, oval-shaped, oil-rich seeds from the Sesamum indicum plant, known for their delicate, nutty, and slightly sweet flavor. They are often hulled (husk removed), resulting in an off-white color, and are highly nutritious, providing a rich source of calcium, fiber, magnesium, iron, and antioxidant properties.
Key Characteristics & Uses:
- Appearance/Texture: Creamy-white, 3 mm long seeds with a slight crunch.
- Flavor Profile: Mildly nutty, particularly when toasted.
- Culinary Uses: Used in Asian and Middle Eastern cuisines to make tahini, hummus, garnish salads, garnish stir-fries, and in baking.
- Health Benefits: Supports bone health (due to high calcium), improves digestion (fiber), and is rich in heart-healthy mono-unsaturated fatty acids.
