Black sesame seeds are small, flat, oily seeds that grow in the fruit pods of the Sesamum indicum plant, which has been cultivated for thousands of years. Sesame seeds grow in a variety of colors, including shades of black, brown, tan, gray, gold, and white. Black sesame seeds are primarily produced in Asia, although they’re quickly gaining popularity around the world.

White Sesame Seeds are nearly identical to Brown  the only difference is the hulls have been removed to give them a uniform, creamy look. They’re a little “dressier” looking than natural sesame seeds but they’re just as delicious and versatile!
