Toasted White Sesame Seeds impart a sweet, nutty flavor that adds delightful crunch and a nice pop of light color to proteins, rice, noodles, and stir frys.

Archeological remains suggest domesticated sesame seed is more than 5000 years old, making it one of the oldest cultivated crops in the world.

Pungent and spicy at first, the flavor mellows and sweetens considerably as it cooks. Great for garlic bread, dry rubs, or anywhere you need a quick hit of garlicky goodness.

Gilroy, California claims itself as the garlic capital of the world, but there’s a strong challenger in the midwest: the name Chicago is adapted from a Native American word for wild garlic.

Crisp, with a vibrant umami flavor that holds earthiness and a distinct, salty “ocean” quality (though not “fishy”), Nori finishes on the palate with subtle sweetness.

Nori, which comes from the Japanese word meaning “sea vegetable,” is most often sold in sheet form, the result of a processing technique that is similar to artesian papermaking.
