Dry-toasted for a few minutes, until it starts popping like popcorn, it releases an intense aroma and becomes the perfect finish for noodles, stir-fried vegetables, rice and grain salads. Ground, it becomes tahini, the paste at the heart of hummus.
There are white seeds, milder, and black ones, more aromatic: just pairing them makes a dish more beautiful.
