Best Sesame Seeds of 2025

“This product is fantastic and exactly what I anticipated. It's hard to go wrong with ordering sesame seeds.”

“I always look for fresh sesame seeds based on price. While discount stores don’t carry them, I found Happy Belly at a reasonable price for a good-sized bottle.”

"I found the price to be unbeatable for this bulk package of sesame seeds. The quality is great, and while they are raw and lack the toasted flavor, they pick up that taste beautifully during cooking. I would definitely purchase again!"

"Initially, I was uncertain due to mixed reviews, but I was pleasantly surprised! These seeds are absolutely delicious! We don’t notice any bitterness or hardness and enjoy them daily over eggs and rice. Plus, they are so much cheaper than other options!"

"I use these seeds for my seed cycling and eat them raw. They’re perfect for my needs, and the quantity is excellent for the price. I highly recommend them!"

"I received my order really quickly. I’ve been consuming a tablespoon of these seeds raw every day. I didn’t realize how much a tablespoon actually is, but it requires quite a bit of chewing. However, it’s not bad at all; it’s not bitter or dry and tastes just like peanuts. I’ll definitely keep buying this!"

"These black sesame seeds are fantastic for cooking! They have a wonderful sesame flavor and become fragrant when lightly toasted. A healthy addition to any dish!"

"I’m absolutely in love with black sesame seeds and have become quite discerning about their quality. These are the best! They’re toasty, fresh, and delicious. Packed with antioxidants, I use them in salads, sandwiches, over jam, with dressing, and as a garnish. I just can’t get enough of them!"

"I used these for my sesame cookies, and they turned out great. They were fresh, tasted good, and toasted nicely. I also believe the price was fair for the amount you get."

"These seeds have a consistent color and texture. They taste just right every time."

"I love adding these to my shakes and oatmeal to boost fiber content. They offer great value and are easy to use; I just mix a teaspoonful with a glass of fluids. However, the ziplock feature is a bit annoying; I’ll need to transfer them to a jar to avoid dust clouds whenever the bag is touched."

"I love the taste of these sesame seeds! I add them to my cereal in the morning, and you get a lot in this bag at a great price. I’ll definitely be buying more when I finish this one."

"I was really impressed with the quality of the package the seeds come in. They are easy to store and stay fresh for as long as I need them."

"I bought these seeds to make my own tahini and save some money on hummus. While I’m not a big fan of sesame seeds in other dishes, I found they ground up nicely and had a great flavor in my tahini. The cost is definitely less than buying tahini at the store."

"I initially purchased these for a specific recipe. Typically, I'm not fond of whole sesame seeds as they lack flavor and tend to get stuck in my teeth. However, these roasted sesame seeds were a much better value than what I found at the local grocery store. After six months, I finally made the dough last night, and it smelled incredible—very sesame and delightfully peanut-y despite containing only sesame seeds, sugar, salt, flour, and butter. After chilling overnight and baking them today, the aroma was even better, and the flavor was amazing. Although the seeds and butter can be pricey, they're absolutely worth it for a treat! I had only tried whole black sesame seeds and tahini before, but these were fresh and released their oils perfectly when processed. I will definitely buy them again, even if it's just for this one recipe!"

"These toasted sesame seeds are just what I needed to enhance my Asian recipes. They add a pleasant flavor that complements the dishes beautifully!"

"I found exactly what I expected with this product. They should last me a very long time!"

"I recently ordered this Black Sesame and I've got to say it's fantastic! It tastes amazing and has a great texture, definitely a winner in my kitchen! I highly recommend!"

"We spent several years in Asia due to my spouse's job, so we use sesame seeds regularly in our food. The quality of these sesame seeds is top-notch, and the 10-pound bag is a great deal. I made black sesame desserts a couple of times using these seeds—they're a hit every time with my kids. I also blend these seeds with water in my Nut Milk Maker to create a rich, creamy black sesame milk that my whole family enjoys."

"I haven't used it yet, but I really like the amount I received. The packaging isn't plastic, which I also appreciate."

"These sesame seeds are fantastic! I had never tried them untoasted before, and I find them quite enjoyable. They have a nice crunch without being too hard. To me, they have a nuttier flavor than the toasted ones I've had. Their darker color also gives a more natural look, which enhances presentation. My wife and I love adding them to ramen and using them as a garnish for sushi. I highly recommend them!"

"I think these sesame seeds taste great and are nicely packaged. I plan to use them frequently with sushi and lightly seared tuna. So far, I've also tried them as a salad topping. The flavor of the raw seeds is milder and nuttier, which I appreciate. I like having the option to eat them raw or roast them myself to enhance their freshness."

"I find Frontier Co-Op Black Sesame Seeds to be fresh and a flavorful addition to my Indian food recipes!"

"I've been purchasing this brand for a few years, and while they were good before, this recent batch was disappointing—lacking flavor and aroma."

"After soaking the seeds, I noticed no black dye in the water. Roasting them enhances their delicious aroma, and I’ll definitely buy them again!"

"I'm really impressed with the quality of these sesame seeds! They arrived fresh, with a rich nutty aroma and no signs of staleness. The packaging is sturdy and resealable, which keeps the seeds fresh for longer."

"I love that I can purchase a larger container of sesame seeds since I go through a lot. I sprinkle them on various dishes and add that nutty taste and texture to baked goods or oatmeal. I've never had any issues with them going rancid, and the container is secure. I'm pleased with my purchase!"

"These sesame seeds were plentiful and a great price compared to the grocery store. I use them in anything I choose, and they toast great with a wonderful flavor!"
