White sesame seeds have a nutty taste and a strong aroma. The difference in taste to the black seeds is not significant. The sesame seeds can be used to make hummus and are an important part of gomasio (Japanese seasoning), sushi and maki. The nutty spice of the sesame seeds also goes very well with bread (e.g. bagels) and biscuits, fish (as a breading for tuna), spinach and chicken. Variation tip: Use the black seeds together with white sesame, the mixture of the two is a visual highlight.
