It was goooood product I'm so glad it went well

This is a great deal and the "seeds" were delicious and nice quality. The problem is that with the seeds are pieces of grit (both clear and dark, very tiny hard to see) that are both alarming to bite down on and have the potential of breaking teeth. I tried sorting the seeds to eliminate issues, but it was impossible, so I ended up throwing it out, just not worth the danger. I have purchased a lot of other products from this company and love their quality and price point, but this one is a fail.

I use the unhulled light brown sesame seeds all the time. I love their smell, taste and texture, and I can eat them straight out of the bag. Sesame seeds have a very high mineral content, just like a multimineral, and with a cup of sesame seeds you can easily get 100% or more of the recommended daily value of iron, copper, magnesium, and other minerals. One of my favorite recipes with these sesame seeds is this - add two cups of unhulled sesame seeds and 12 mejdool dates (I use the mejdool dates sold by Terrasoul also) to a food processor (I happen to use a Cuisinart food processor, but any food processor would work). Run the food processor for 4-6 minutes (important to not go past this point as the mix will start to become powdery and crumbly if you go too long). When you stop at the right time, the mixture will be soft like dough and easy to shape into balls. I shape the dough into balls and call them "laddoos", a popular Indian (India) dessert that can be made from sesame seeds, among other choices of ingredients. I love my laddoos and eat them throughout the week. The clash of sesame seeds with the dates is very appealing to my taste buds and I feel a touch of my native culture with what I eat. I am also getting lots of nutrition!

I tried another brand because it was slightly cheaper. I like this one better. The seeds are extra nutty. I put them in a dry pan and toast for a minute or 2 till fragrant and tasty then store in the fridge till I need them for my rice dishes in particular and salads. This brand never let me down!

These are great, seem fresh, raw, as stated, the hulls are thinner than others I have purchased - no judgment, just an observation - I expect they will be easier to grind than the thicker hulled ones for tahini. They have the hulls so the slight bitter taste as expected (love that little bite 😁). I generally use sesame seeds for making tahini when we are on a hummus jag, and the rest of the time as a garnish - tossing in salads, on breads, so 2 lbs is a bit much for the latter, wish the came in 1 lb bags, I could always buy 2 when craving hummus. I do get tired of pitching half used bags that have gone stale.

We make a lot of seared ahi tuna so we go through sesame seeds pretty fast in our house. I have found that buying these seeds in bulk off amazon is much more economical than purchasing the small ‘spice sized’ containers from my local grocery store (you get so much more and definitely ‘more bang for your buck’!). I took a photo comparing the unhulled seeds from amazon to the seeds I buy at the store and as you can see, the only real difference is the off-white color of the Terrasoul/amazon seeds. The taste is similar and so is the size. In full honesty, I had NO IDEA what ‘hulled’ versus ‘unhulled’ meant so I ordered simply based on what most closely resembled what I had already been using. Overall, I’m happy with this purchase and feel confident that I made the right decision. From here on out, I think I will always buy these in bulk off amazon rather than buying them in store, because it really does save money!
