Common ways to consume black sesame seeds include eating them directly, grinding them into sesame powder, or incorporating them into recipes. Black sesame seeds can be roasted until slightly fragrant and then ground into powder using a grinder or rolling pin. The resulting sesame powder can be added to various foods such as breakfast porridge, yogurt, cakes, and cookies. The fine texture and rich nutritional content of black sesame powder can enhance both the flavor and nutritional value of food. Black sesame seeds can also be sprinkled directly onto dishes such as oatmeal, salads, or bread to add flavor and nutrition. When mixed with honey, black sesame seeds can be made into sesame honey balls, which can serve as healthy snacks or condiments to add to milk or tea. Black sesame seeds can also be used to make sesame paste. By mixing black sesame powder with water and cooking it into a thick paste, it can be consumed as a breakfast food or dessert. Another option is to make sesame oil by heating and pressing black sesame seeds to extract the oil, which is suitable for cooking or seasoning, adding both aroma and nutrition.
