White Tal ( Sesame Seed)

White Tal — White Sesame Seeds (Safed Til) | 4 lb, 8 lb & 55 lb

White Tal (safed til / white sesame seeds) are small, hulled seeds with a mild, buttery, nutty flavour and a satisfying crunch. One of the oldest cultivated oilseeds in the world, they are a versatile ingredient used across South Asian, Middle Eastern, and East Asian cuisines in both sweet and savoury applications. The hulled white variety is milder and more tender than unhulled sesame — ideal for sweets, baking, and dishes where a clean, delicate sesame flavour is preferred. Available in retail and bulk sizes.

Culinary Uses:

• Til chikki — classic Indian sesame and jaggery brittle
• Til ladoo — sesame and jaggery balls, a Makar Sankranti staple
• Makar Sankranti and festival recipes
• Tahini — ground sesame paste for hummus, dressings, and dips
• Stir-fries, noodles, and Asian-inspired dishes — as a topping or garnish
• Bread, bun, and cracker toppings — burger buns, bagels, and flatbreads
• Chutneys and spice blends
• Sesame-crusted fish, chicken, and tofu
• Gingelly oil production — cold-pressed sesame oil

How to Use: Lightly toast in a dry pan over medium heat for 2–3 minutes until golden and fragrant before use — toasting significantly enhances the nutty flavour. Watch carefully as sesame seeds burn quickly.

Storage: Store in a cool, dry place in an airtight container. Due to their oil content, sesame seeds can go rancid — refrigerate for longer storage. Keeps well for up to 12 months at room temperature, longer when refrigerated.
