Good to know

Should I toast them?
It brings out their flavour. Stir them in a dry pan over low heat for 1 to 2 minutes until golden, and take them off as soon as they start to pop.

How do I stop them going stale?
Sesame seeds are rich in natural oils. Keep the pack sealed, and in hot weather store it in the fridge.

Which size should I buy?
The 500g pack is better value per kg. The 150g pack is a good size to try first, or to add to a gift.
