Derived from flowering plants that grow wild throughout Asian and the Middle East, this oil-rich seed enhances a depth of flavor reminiscent of roasted nuts. Use these black sesame seeds to stud your bread for a flavorful topping, or to coat your sushi. Toast and toss into fried rice and noodle dishes or crust fresh fish to add a nutty crunch. Don't forget desserts! Cookies, cakes, and sweet butter spreads are made scrumptious with sesame seeds.

Fairway Marketplace is brought to you by Fairway Market, a specialty food chain that started back in 1933 with a small fruit and vegetable stand on the Upper West Side of Manhattan. Today, Fairway Market is legendary for its experts and expertise in all things food, and a relentless obsession with quality throughout all of the different departments in its stores. In December of 2011, Fairway launched this online shop, so that we could bring the best of the best of what Fairway offers, at the same great values, to those who don’t live near one of our stores. Why keep all of this foodie goodness to ourselves? That simply would not be fair.
