In India, sesame seeds are used extensively ,specially in winters. They are considered warm. A simple recipe-
Dry roast 1/2 cup white sesame seeds to pink color. (You may also add some black sesame seeds if available but it is harder to tell how much to toast them because of their dark color).Cool them off in a plate..
Then grind cooled seeds in a grinder with almost equal amount (or to taste)of sugar.
Ready to eat dry sweet.You can store it in an airtight jar for a few days. Tastes delicious and often used as an offering on religious occasions.

As one of the world’s largest producers of sesame seed and sesame oil we are always thrilled to see this kind of articles sharing our enthusiasm for sesame. A lot of people only know sesame seed as a decoration on their hamburger but there is so much more to it then just that.
For instance Tahini is a paste made of sesame seeds which is very high in protein but also very delicious. Sesame oil is not only an edible oil but it is also used in cosmetic products because of it’s natural antioxidants which slow down the aging process of skin cells. There is really a lot to this little seed.
Keep up the good work spreading the word and if you ever need any specialist information please contact us.
