As far as I know there are no special health benefits to black over white seeds and they have about the same nutritional value as a supplier of calcium, iron, magnesium, phosphorous, manganese, copper, zinc, fiber, thiamine, vitamin B6, foliate, protein, and tryptophan. These are probably the healthiest seeds you can get.
Sometimes I like to cook with these black sesame seeds because they look dramatic (who ever expects black sesame seeds?). And they make a startling-looking garnish on noodles, eggs, vegetables, and whatever else you'd care to try them on – but they can look a little off-putting in baking cookies or pastries.
Here is my absolutely favorite dish using black sesame seeds: Sesame Tuna. It's simple and delicious and you'll find yourself making this often:
Make a Marinade with
¼ cup soy sauce
2 chopped garlic cloves
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 tablespoon mirin (Japanese cooking rice wine)
1/8 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon honey
I teaspoon finely minced scallion
Extra marinade can be made to use as a dipping sauce
other ingredients:
2 ahi tuna steaks (or good yellowfin tuna steaks – not bluefin)
black and white sesame seeds (maybe 1/4 cup each)
1-prepare the marinade in a covered bowl. Marinate the tuna steaks in the fridge for a couple of hours
2-Remove the tuna and coat with a mixture of the black and white sesame seeds
3-Fry in a skillet 2-3 minutes per side (center of tuna steaks should be rare!)
Serve with a side of white long-grain rice and a small bowl of dipping sauce. Yum!
If you chew these directly, you get a nice sesame flavor. I should try Kevala’s raw product and toast them to see if I get a flavor boost.
Lots of good nutrients in sesame seeds, but it’s not clear that they’re digestible. The seed coating may get them through your digestive tract. If you’re seeking sesame nutrients, you’d do well to grind them or eat tahini.
