Sesame seeds. Used as a garnish, tiny, flat sesame seeds contribute a subtle nutty flavor and crunchy texture to bake goods such as muffins and breads and to many other dishes both savory and sweet. The seeds are an ingredient in cuisines of nearly every continent around the world. Of the several varieties available, the most common are pale tan in color. Black red, and brown sesame seeds are also sold in some markets. Because sesame seeds have a high oil content, they are best stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
