STORAGE GUIDE

Black Sesame Seeds Storage

Proper storage helps preserve the natural crunch, nutty aroma, flavour, and quality of black sesame seeds for longer.

Short-Term Storage

Store black sesame seeds in an airtight container in a cool, dry place away from sunlight and heat. If used within 4–6 weeks, proper sealing helps protect their natural crunch, aroma, and flavour.

Refrigerator Storage

For longer freshness, keep black sesame seeds in a sealed jar in the refrigerator. Refrigeration helps slow oxidation and rancidity, allowing Kala Til to retain its flavour and quality for longer.

Freezer Storage

For extended storage, place black sesame seeds in an airtight or freezer-safe bag. Frozen Kala Til can retain its quality for up to 12 months. Bring the seeds to room temperature before use.

Signs of Freshness

Fresh black sesame seeds should have a mild nutty aroma and earthy flavour. Seeds with a sharp, sour, or unusual smell may have turned rancid and should be discarded.

DAILY GUIDE

Learn the right portion, timing, and simple ways to enjoy black sesame seeds as part of your everyday diet.

Recommended Daily Intake of Black Sesame Seeds

For most adults, 1 to 2 tablespoons, about 9–18 g per day, is a balanced portion. Black sesame seeds provide calcium, iron, and healthy fats but are also calorie-dense, so moderate servings are ideal for everyday consumption.

Winter Months: Enjoy Kala Til in traditional foods such as til laddoo and chikki.

Post-Meal: Have a small spoonful of roasted seeds after meals.

How to Choose Premium Black Sesame Seeds Online

Appearance

Premium black sesame seeds should have a uniform deep black colour with a clean, glossy appearance. The seeds should be whole, free from dust, stones, husks, and other impurities, with minimal broken seeds.

Using Black Sesame Seeds in Everyday Recipes
