Black Sesame is a striking and ancient grain crop with a deeply nutty, robust flavor and incomparable richness in Asian cuisine — essential in Japanese onigiri, Korean banchan, Chinese pastries, and Middle Eastern tahini. The tall, upright plants produce fascinating tube-like flowers before setting the small, intensely flavored seeds that transform almost any dish they touch with warmth and depth. A rewarding and surprisingly easy crop to grow in a warm, sunny garden.
