They also contain anthocyanins from their dark pigment — antioxidant compounds absent from white sesame. Their flavour is more intense and slightly bitter, making them particularly well suited to savoury Asian cooking and contrast garnishing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAre they the same nutritionally as brown\/white sesame?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eVery similar in macronutrients, but black sesame seeds contain additional anthocyanins from their pigment and may have slightly higher mineral content from the retained hull. The overall nutritional profile is comparable to unhulled brown\/tan sesame.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I make tahini from black sesame seeds?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes — the result is a dark, almost charcoal-grey tahini with a more robust, bitter flavour than standard tahini. It is a popular ingredient in Japanese cooking and can be used in dressings, noodle sauces, and desserts where the deep colour is a visual feature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAre they suitable for people with sesame allergies?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo — black sesame seeds are still sesame. Sesame is a declared major allergen in the UK and should be avoided by those with sesame allergies regardless of colour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e⚠️ Price note:\u003c\/strong\u003e PriceTape (17 June 2026) shows £2.69 vs £2.59 in source file — priced at £2.69 per PriceTape.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Just Natural Organic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49206421389564,"sku":"JNO9948","price":2.69,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/4683\/9207\/files\/JN214_large_d3fa10e6-b9de-45d0-811e-8089abd16ecd.jpg?v=1781688008","url":"https:\/\/econaturalproducts.co.uk\/products\/organic-black-sesame-seeds-250g","provider":"Eco Natural Products","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
