How Long Do Toasted Sesame Seeds Last?
180111
We go through a two pound bag in 8-10 weeks after opening, and have noted no change in flavor or hint of rancidity over that time. The bag has a resealable zip-lock closure that seems to work well at excluding oxygen and preserving freshness.

Out of the bag...tossed into the mouth....from initial unsealing... to final, fantastically delicious very last seed....not long enough !...great product!...

Toasted sesame oil is literally just that. The oils from the seeds are extracted after the seeds are toasted giving the oil a stronger/concentrated flavor while also yielding a more brown color. I find the toasted more flavorful and robust while un-toasted is more mild and white in color.

I don't know specifically since I haven't had it all that long, but mine oldest package has been on the shelf for 6 months and the last package I opened was just fine. I add sesame seeds and it is delicious.

I have only toasted them. I have never soaked them. I suppose soaking them could be good if you want them sprouted .

Hello Pineforest9369. The Kevala Organic Sesame Seeds go through a steaming process. This process is very simple, approved for organic products, the seeds remain raw but it affects the sprouting ability of the sesame seeds. So not all of them will germinate. Hope this information helps.

Nice! I haven't tried sesame seeds yet. I imagine there wouldn't be an issue. Anything I've put in the grinder that would be comparable has been ground without issue.

Toasted sesame seeds gives the oil its unique aroma and flavor. A little goes a long way; be careful not to add too much to your food, it's taste will take over other flavors in the dish. I use it in salads, but very sparingly. Toasted sesame oil is what gives the distinctive flavor in some Oriental dishes and sauces.

They are stamped with a "best before" date of ~1 year, but since they are dehydrated I would think they would last much longer. This product is GREAT....I hydrate the box, prepare what I want and put it back in the frige. One box is good for 3-4 good servings. If I were still camping, these would be perfect. These fry up better than any frozen or fresh product I have tried.

Happy Holidays! To be honest with you, I need to do more research about the black sesame seeds before I give you my answers. So far I have heard lots of voices. One of the voices said the black color of genuine sesame seeds should not come off while soaking in water. But another voice said it is normal for the color to come off. Now I don't feel that I have the final answer. Stay well!

Yes, this is a toasted sesame seed oil. It's my secret ingredient in salad dressing.

A looooong time. I don't know exactly but I would guess they are edible for at least a couple years.

I have three cats and I only sprout a small amount of seeds to last about 7 to 10 days. I cut the longer sprouts off with a scissors when they are 3 inches or taller and hand feed to the cats several pieces every day (yeah!!.. they think I am their butler). I also stagger my sprouting so that just as one container is about ready to be thrown out, there is another that is tall to cut.

Not sure what the expiration dates usually are, but our family of 4 eats them in about 2-3 weeks. It is pureed and dried, then packaged in plastic for single servings.

It says 100% ground sesame seeds on the package so I would say they are not toasted.

As far as I know, seeds last until they germinate. However, the small pocket of moisture in every seed can't dry up, so I'd say a year, maybe two, but no more.

Mark I believe there is an expiration date on it. I keep my flaxseed in the fridge. Hope this helps.

Whole seeds in a sealed jar will last for a couple of years. In an opened jar, a little less. If you grind them in your spice mill, then the meal will oxidize faster, so maybe you should seal it in a zip bag, press out the air, and pop it in the freezer. The meal is more nutritious than the whole seeds, so give your grinder a spin. And yes, the gold variety is just as tasty and healthful as the brown variety.
