Sesame seeds are tiny, flat oval seeds with a nutty taste and a delicate, almost invisible crunch. They come in a host of different colors, depending upon the variety, including white, yellow, black and red.
They are widely used in Asian dishes. They are also the main ingredients in tahini (sesame seed paste) which is used to make a number of Lebanese dips.
A Middle Eastern sweet call halvah is another wonderful delight you can make using til. They are available throughout the year. The sesame seeds are extremely rich in calcium and are useful in calcium deficiency.
