Black Sesame Paste 100%
Our 100% black sesame paste is a concentrate of flavor and benefits for those who appreciate rich, natural products. In the jar—only whole black sesame seeds with no additives, slowly ground in granite mills using our own Stone Ground technology. Gentle grinding preserves the aroma and texture of the seeds, giving a dense, velvety consistency and a deep, slightly smoky profile with warm caramel and umami notes. The paste is nutritious and filling, while containing no sugar or unnecessary additives—an excellent choice for those who eat mindfully and deliciously.

How to use
In porridge and smoothies: 1–2 tsp for a hearty protein start.
On toast and bread: instead of butter or in combination with avocado and vegetables.
In sauces and dressings: replaces tahini or other nut pastes in hummus, sauces, and dips.
In desserts and baking: adds depth of flavor and a dark caramel note.
Sesame milk: mix 1–2 tbsp of paste with 200–250 ml of water — you’ll get rich homemade sesame milk.
Tip: for a smoother texture, first dilute the paste in 2–3 tbsp of water, then add the remaining water; a blender gives the most uniform result.
Storage and shelf life
Before opening: store in a dry, cool place at 12–20 °C, away from direct sunlight and heat sources.
After opening: store in the refrigerator at +4…+8 °C. Before use, you can take it out for 10–20 minutes so the paste softens.
Recommended consumption period after opening: it is recommended to consume within 6–8 weeks for optimal taste and freshness. If a sharp smell or rancid taste appears—do not consume.
Additionally: natural oil separation is normal; stir until smooth. Use a clean spoon to avoid moisture getting in.
