About the use in cooking, sesame is actively used in the cuisine of Asia and beyond. This is an important side dish and a good way to decorate any dish. White sesame is often sprinkled on dark seafood to create a nice contrast. In Japan, these aromatic grains are as important as salt or pepper in our country, and in Korea they are considered an essential component of salads and everyday sauces.

In Ukraine, white sesame is used to make bars, enrich Granola and other breakfast options, as a topping for fresh and sweet baked goods - bread, buns, crackers, bagels. Modern cooks add it to rice side dishes; it goes well with boiled broccoli and fried pumpkin and chicken, sea fish, squid, octopus and shrimp.
