Kimchi White Sesame Seeds
These are roasted white sesame seeds individually coated with a kimchi-inspired seasoning that delivers the tangy, fermented, garlicky heat of Korea's most famous dish in a dry, shelf-stable format. Each seed carries a layer of garlic, red hot pepper, soy sauce, and bonito extract, producing a flavour that is simultaneously savoury, sweet, spicy, and deeply umami. The roasting gives the seeds a satisfying crunch and releases the natural oils that help carry the coating's flavour.
The uses are broad, but the best ones are simple. Scattered generously over a bowl of plain steamed rice, they transform something ordinary into something you will not stop eating. Pressed onto tuna loin as a crust before searing gives a restaurant-quality finish in seconds — the seeds toast further in the pan and form a crunchy, flavour-packed shell around the rare centre. Rolled into the outside of inside-out sushi, they add both texture and a hit of kimchi heat that works with any filling. Beyond these, they bring crunch and Korean-accented flavour to noodle bowls, ramen, grilled fish, roasted vegetables, shredded hispi cabbage, avocado toast, and salad dressings. Mixed into mayonnaise, they produce an instant Korean-style dipping sauce.
Producer: Terre Exotique, a French spice house founded in 1998 after its founder discovered Penja pepper on a plantation in Cameroon. The company sources directly from growers worldwide and processes at its facility in France, maintaining close relationships with producers to ensure traceability and quality across its range.
Storage: Ambient. Store in a dry place.
