Black Sesame — Premium Niche Market
Natural black sesame seeds retain their outer hull giving them a distinctive jet-black colour, slightly more robust nutty flavour and higher antioxidant content than hulled white sesame. Demand is driven by East Asian food markets (Japan, China, South Korea, Taiwan) where black sesame paste, black sesame ice cream and black sesame desserts are traditional and growing product categories.
European and North American health food markets have driven growing demand for organic black sesame as a 'superfood' ingredient in granola, energy bars, smoothie powders and premium bakery products.
