There are lots of things to do with them First you need to store them in the refrigerator, because of their oil content they can go rancid very quickly. Some people say you can store them in a cool dark place, but I say why take the chance. They can stay in the fridge for 6 months.

Yes, they can be frozen for up to a year. You can use them toasted or untoasted. Becareful when toasting they burn quickly.

I add them untoasted to breading when frying fish or chicken. You can add them to bread recipes. Sprinkle them on vegetables.

I use them a lot with Chinese food. You can sprout them and put them in salads. I'll give you a cracker recipe here, and one other if you need more ideas let me know and I will send them to you.

These crackers are healthy and delicious. They are also good crumbled in soups or broken and used in place of croutons on salads. Sesame Bran Cracker 1 cup oatmeal (coarsely ground in blender) 1/2 cup bran 1 cup whole wheat flour 6 Tbsp.

Vegetable oil 2 Tbsp. Honey 1/2 cup water 1 cup toasted sesame seeds Mix dry ingredients, except seeds, into large bowl. Combine wet ingredients and blend into flours.

Form into ball and roll out on floured surface as thinly as possible. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and roll down into dough. Cut dough into desired sizes and shapes and transfer to nonstick or lightly greased baking sheets.

Using fork, prick holes uniformly. Bake 350° F for 15 minutes. Cool and store in airtight container.

I love salmon and this is a favorite way to prepare it. Sweet Asian Salmon 1 clove garlic 1/4 cup honey 1 teaspoon sesame oil 1/2 cup sesame seeds 4 salmon steaks Preheat oven to 200°C. Peel and crush garlic.

Combine the crushed garlic, honey, sesame oil and sesame seeds together. Dry the salmon steaks with a paper towel. Brush honey mixture over the salmon steaks.

Bake for 10 -12 minutes. Sources: My vast love of all things to do with cooking .

Even though I don't have a cracker recipe... ...I'm going to answer anyway. I absolutely love sesame seeds! They can be used so many ways.

A few: Sprinkle the top of a meatloaf with them Add them to any bread/roll/breadstick recipe. If you use a bread machine, wait until the beep signaling the midpoint of the rising cycle...or you'll just end up with sesame dust. Alternatively, brush the tops of your bread/rolls/breadsticks with a little beaten egg before baking and sprinkle them on the top.

Add a handful to any cookie recipe for an interesting flavor sensation Toast some and toss them into a salad Add some toasted sesame seeds to rice pilaf just before it's done Add them to ground beef or turkey when making hamburgers You could try adding them to a dry spice rub for a roast. I've had mixed results with this...if the oven temp is too high, they could burn, but if they don't they give an outstanding flavor. Add them to stir-fry dishes To toast or not to toast?

If they're going to be baked or grilled with something, then there's no need to toast them. If you're adding them to something that won't require cooking or if you're adding them at the end of the cooking time, then you'll want to toast them to bring out the flavor. Just toss some into a skillet - dry - over medium heat and once the pan is warm enough to start actually toasting them, stir them or shake the pan very frequently so they toast on all sides without getting burned.It won't take more than five minutes at the most to toast them.

You'll know they're done when they start getting aromatic and a golden color. They're best stored in the freezer, although the fridge is OK too if you don't plan on keeping them as long. I've had frozen sesame seeds probably nine or ten months old that were just fine, and I would think they'd be good for several months in the fridge too.

Either way, keep them in an airtight container. The reason you want to freeze them (or at least refrigerate them) is that the oil in the seeds can go rancid pretty quickly at room temperature. I just looked them up on this nutrition website, and found out that a tablespoon of sesame seeds has 1.1 grams of fiber...and only 52 calories.

Considering how flavorful they are once they've been toasted, you don't need many at all to add a whole lot of flavor to whatever you're making. Hope this gives you some ideas!.

Storage and one VERY POPULAR use As far as storage goes, you have to remember a couple things. Sesame seeds (like all seeds and nuts) contain oils. Because of that, they are prone to going rancid or stale a quite an accelerated rate.

That's unfortunate, and is partially why they are so infrequently found in the common American pantry. They tend to go bad before they get used. There are some steps you can take to slow down this spoilage.

First, understand what makes them go rancid: Air (specifically oxygen) and light. So if you eliminate (or at least minimize) these two factors your seeds will last longer. Toasting ALSO helps extend the life since heating the oil kills off the microorganisms that cause the breakdown of the oils.

Seal the seeds in an airtight container with as little space in it as possible. Use a solid container (not see-through or translucent) and place it in a cool dark place. You can also freeze the seeds in this container.As far as using them, you can add sesame seeds to lots of things for a special flavor.

You can encrust fish, lamb or pork with sesame seeds. You can add them to vegetables as a topping and flavoring agent. One of the most common uses for sesame seeds the world around is tahini.

That's basically sesame seeds ground to a fine paste -- like peanut butter. It's tasty, nutritious and when stored properly (just like the seeds) it will last for a long time. One of the most common uses for tahini is to make hummus.

You'll find recipes online with your google search tool. You can also use tahini in sauces, as part of a sauce or vinagrette etc.You can even make candy with sesame seeds! Sesame seeds are one of the most versatile foods in the world.

They are high in nutrition, good oils and fible. They can be used in many ways and are easy to use. I know I didn't answer ALL of your question, but I hope I've helped.

Bon Appetit!.

I always have sesame seeds in my pantry. You asked about the shelf life...In my case, not very long. I use them all the time, but, if you store them in a tight fitting jar and keep them in a dark area of your kitchen, they will keep about three months.

Sometimes you do not need to toast them, but if your recipe calls for toasted sesame seeds you can do three different things. Spread them out on a cookie sheet and bake them in a 350 degree oven, tossing them every few minutes, until golden, about 15 minutes. Put them in a nonstick fry pan over medium heat and stir until golden , about 3 or 4 minutes.

The last is how I do it. I buy Sun Luck Toasted Sesame Seeds that I get in the Chinese section of my grocery store. I use them in everything from appetizers, salad dressings, meats and poultry, seafood and veggies to desserts.(I love my cheese, so instead of having cheese and crackers, I toss toasted sesame seeds on my sliced cheese (30 calories per tablespoon).) First, here is a good recipe for crackers.

Commercialese Crackers: Makes: about 200 one-inch crackers 1/2 C. SESAME SEEDS 3 C. ALL-PURPOSE FLOUR 1 C.

STONE-GROUND WHITE CORN MEAL 1 T. KOSHER SALT 3/4 C. PEANUT OIL 3/4 C.

PLUS 2 T. WATER 1.In a spice mill, grind 1/4 c. Of the sesame seeds to a fine powder.

In a food processor, pulse the ground seeds with flour, cornmeal and salt. Add the oil and process until mixture resembles moist sand. Add the water all at once and pulse just until incorporated.

Turn the dough out onto an unfloured work surface and knead just until smooth. Wrap dough in plastic and let rest 15 minutes. 2.

Preheat oven to 375*. Divide dough into 4 pieces. On a lightly floured surface, roll out 1 piece of dough 1/8" thick; keep the rest wrapped.

Sprinkle 1 T. Of the sesame seeds over the dough and press them into the pastry with a rolling pin. Cut the pastry into 1" squares and transfer to ungreased baking sheets.

Repeat with remaining dough and seeds.3. Bake in upper and lower thirds of oven for 20 minutes, or until golden and crisp, shifting the pans from top to bottom and front to back halfway through. Let crackers cool completely on baking sheets.

STORE: airtight container at room temperature up to 5 days or freeze for 1 month. For appetizers, one, that I do when I am in a hurry, is to take an 8-oz. Package of cream cheese, cover with soy sauce and sprinkle the top with sesame seeds...Serve with crackers.
