Premium Black Till for Cooking, Baking & Traditional Recipes

Black Till, commonly known as black sesame seeds, comes from the sesame plant, Sesamum indicum. Black sesame seeds are recognized by their naturally dark outer coating and characteristic nutty, earthy flavor.

Sesame has been used in food traditions across Asia and the Middle East for generations. In Pakistani households, Till is commonly incorporated into traditional sweets, chikki, ladoo, breads, naan, bakery products, and homemade snacks.

Black Till can be used whole, lightly roasted, ground, or sprinkled directly over food. At Hamza Dry Fruits, the seeds are selected with attention to quality and hygienically packed to help preserve their natural aroma, flavor, and texture.

Who Is Black Till For?

Black Till is ideal for families, home cooks, bakers, sweet makers, and anyone who enjoys incorporating seeds into everyday foods.

It is particularly useful for preparing sesame-based sweets, breads, crackers, baked goods, breakfast bowls, and homemade snack mixes.

Its dark appearance also provides visual contrast when sprinkled over lighter foods, making it useful as both a flavorful ingredient and a finishing topping.

Nutritional Profile of Black Sesame Seeds

Black sesame seeds naturally provide unsaturated fats, plant-based protein, dietary fiber, calcium, magnesium, iron, phosphorus, and naturally occurring plant compounds.

Sesame seeds are nutrient and energy dense, so a relatively small serving can add flavor, texture, and nutritional variety to a meal.

Black Till can be incorporated into a varied and balanced diet through cooking, baking, snacks, and other everyday recipes.

Taste & Texture

Black Till has a rich, nutty, slightly earthy flavor with a satisfying crunch. Compared with milder sesame varieties, black sesame is often appreciated for its more pronounced taste.

Light roasting can enhance its aroma and bring out a deeper toasted sesame flavor, making it particularly suitable for sweets, baked foods, and toppings.

How to Use Black Till

Use Black Till whole, ground, or lightly roasted depending on your recipe.

Sprinkle it over naan, bread, buns, salads, yogurt, oatmeal, and breakfast bowls. Incorporate the seeds into ladoo, chikki, biscuits, crackers, granola, desserts, energy bites, and homemade seed mixes.

Black sesame can also be ground and incorporated into sesame pastes, fillings, sauces, and desserts.

When roasting, use gentle heat and remove the seeds once their aroma becomes noticeable to avoid burning them.
