About the Brand

Bob Moore's secret to life may just be "work hard and keep it simple." Living this philosophy, Bob literally puts his nose to the grindstone every day. Bob's Red Mill Natural Foods is an Oregon-based company that utilizes simple, old-world technology to mill hundreds of all-natural whole grain products.

Bob's Red Mill is dedicated to the manufacturing of natural foods in the natural way. In their own words: "With all the sophisticated knowledge of recent times, no machinery has yet been developed that grinds grains into flour quite as well as our flint-hard quartz millstones quarried in France and used by discriminating millers since early Roman times."

"Our well-dressed (sharpened) sets of millstones turn the highest quality wheat into a finer, better baking bread flour than all the hammer mills, steel roller mills, steel buhr mills, or pulverizers ever built! These slow turning millstones grind the bran, endosperm, and germ (containing its nutritious wheat germ oil) into flour in a cool natural way, creating a more assimilable food."

Bob's Red Mill stone grinds all common and most uncommon grains into flours and meals on its over 100-year-old mills. They mix them into an astounding array of unique cereals, pancake and waffle mixes, machine and hand-made bread mixes, quick bread mixes, gluten-free mixes, and specialty grain products.

Product Description

All natural. Dating back to 3000 B.C., sesame seeds are believed to be one of the first condiments, as well one of the first plants to be pressed for oil. Sesame seeds have a nutty, slightly sweet flavor and aroma that is enhanced by toasting, They are often used to sprinkle on bread, burns and muffins. They are also excellent in salads, casseroles, and as a breading on chicken.

I bought this product from Amazon grocery because it's hard to find sesame seeds at my local grocer except in small containers in the spice aisle for high prices. But this product, wow! A full 22 ounces (624 grams) all in the same bag. And FOUR bags of the stuff in one order.

Now I have enough sesame seeds to coat all my carpets. One might say I have too many sesame seeds. I'm searching for obscure recipes that call for sesame seeds. Maybe I should buy a Holsum franchise; I already have the sesame seeds for the hamburger buns.

Levity aside, it's a great product and is nice for things like sesame chicken recipes, or just throwing some over an oriental salad. Plus, you can store them in the refrigerator or freezer because you'll need a lot of time to consume that many sesame seeds. Find three friends who want to split an order and give them a try.

I love these. We all need to consume 1/4 cup each day -- the health benefits are amazing (great source of copper, manganese, magnesium, calcium, iron, phosphorus, B1, and zinc, as well as fiber). I just pour 1/4 cup each morning and have no trouble eating them by bedtime. I use them in bread, salad, steamed vegetables, meatloaf, cereal, brownies, cookies, sprinkled on baked potatoes, or just eat them right out of the bag. This is a great price. Freeze until ready to open the bag, then keep opened bag in frig. Enjoy!!

I was tired of buying seasame seeds for $5 at the grocery store and only getting 2 oz.! I bought these because of the natural factor and the HUGE amount you get for an awesome price. I love them, although I'm not a sesame seed connoseuir and couldn't tell the difference between brands. I use it for stir fry and my oriental salads. It will take me decades to use it all at this rate, but it still cost less than 4 of the small containers at the store, so I'm happy. I know they're good for you and am trying to find other uses for them. If you need seasme seeds, you won't find a better deal and it seems like these seeds are of better quality (by nature of the process) than the ones you'd buy in a grocery store.
