Description
Add texture, nutrition, and a sophisticated nutty finish to your menu with Quality Brown Sesame Seeds. Distributed by ChickenPieces.com from our Calgary logistics hub, this 2.27 kg (5 lbs) bulk bag is the definitive choice for professional chefs and artisan bakers across Canada. These unhulled sesame seeds are prized for their "earthy" profile, offering a more intense flavor than the standard white variety. Because the hull remains intact, these seeds provide a satisfying "snap" when bitten and stay crisp longer when used as a garnish on hot dishes or as a crust for proteins.
Why It Works
- Robust Nutty Flavor: Unhulled seeds contain higher concentrations of aromatic oils, providing a deeper flavor when toasted.
- Rustic Visual Contrast: The natural brown hue adds a premium, "handmade" aesthetic to baked goods and plating.
- Bulk 2.27 kg Value: Specifically sized for industrial bakeries and busy restaurants to maximize ROI.
- Superior Texture: The outer hull provides a distinct crunch that white sesame seeds cannot match.
- Versatile Global Staple: Essential for everything from Middle Eastern halva to Japanese furikake seasonings.
- Fast Calgary Logistics: Stocked locally in Alberta, we provide rapid, tracked shipping across Canada to keep your kitchen running.
Use Cases
- The Artisan Crust: Press into salmon or tuna fillets before searing for a dramatic, crunchy, and flavorful crust.
- Signature Bagel Topping: Mix with Quality Poppy Seeds and sea salt for a premium "Everything" bagel blend.
- Gourmet Salad Garnish: Toast lightly and sprinkle over Asian-style slaws or Mediterranean chickpea salads for added protein and crunch.
- House-Made Sesame Brittle: Use in confectionery for a traditional, nutty candy with a beautiful amber color.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between brown and white sesame seeds?
Brown sesame seeds are unhulled, meaning they still have their outer skin. This makes them crunchier, slightly more bitter, and more nutritionally dense than white (hulled) seeds.
Should I toast these before use?
While they can be eaten raw, toasting them in a dry pan for 2–3 minutes over medium heat will significantly enhance their nutty aroma and flavor.
Are these the same as black sesame seeds?
No. Brown sesame seeds are the natural state of standard sesame. Black sesame seeds are a different variety altogether with a more intense, medicinal flavor.
Is sesame an allergen?
Yes. Sesame is a priority allergen in Canada. Ensure proper storage and handling to prevent cross-contamination in your kitchen.
What is the shelf life?
When stored in an airtight container in a cool, dry pantry, they stay fresh for 6–12 months. If refrigerated, they can last up to 2 years.
