First of all, you need to understand the difference between hulled and unhulled seeds. Hull is the part of the seed that contains oxalates, compounds that can make it bitter. This bitterness is very mild in sesame seeds, in particular. It mostly enriches the flavor, which is so soft in hulled seeds that they usually go unnoticed in recipes. On the other hand, organic unhulled sesame will be noticed, especially if you enhance the flavor by toasting the seeds for a few minutes before using them in your cooking. Be careful when doing this because they burn easily. The most basic and yet fantastic thing you can make with organic unhulled sesame seeds is to toast them and mix 16:1 with toasted coarse salt. Grind using mortar and pestle, and the resulting coarse seasoning will go well on anything short of cupcakes. Although, if you are creative enough, you can put it there as well. The Japanese, who elevated using sesame in the kitchen into a form of art, call this seasoning’ gomasio’. You can make tahini from unhulled sesame seeds, and it will taste more vibrant and a bit more bitter. Note that its texture will also differ slightly because the hull is hard, so your tahini will be a little coarse. Also, be sure to use organic unhulled sesame seeds in baking and sprinkle them on salads. Include them into sauces, uniquely, if you can combine them with soy sauce.

Unhulled seeds are less prone to rancidity, so they stay fresh longer. The pack can last you for well over a year if you keep the seeds dry and away from heat and sunlight.
