Sesame Seeds – A Vegan Pantry Ingredient from Vegan Venue
Sesame Seeds are a vegan pantry ingredient that we keep frozen to preserve freshness. We use them in making humus and as a bread and roll coating.
Sesame Seeds
About Sesame Seeds:
Sesame seeds come from the seed pods of Sesamum indicum. They were used by the Assyrians as far back as 1,600 – 3,000 B.C.E., depending on the reference source. We use sesame seeds as an outer coating for some of our bread and roll recipes, and as an ingredient in dips, dressings, and other recipes. See the nutritional chart below.
