Classically, sesame seeds can be used to make tahini (blended sesame seeds), which can be kept in the refrigerator for weeks. You can add differing dried spices to tahini for themed flavors, such as basil and fennel powder for an Italian spin; mesquite and cayenne for a tex mex spin; or garlic powder and oregano for a Greek spin. Tahini can then be used to make homemade humus, added to sauces, vinaigrettes, yogurt, etc. For added flavor, roast your sesame seeds before using!

The popular phrase Open Sesame!” from Arabian Nights is said to derive from the fact that sesame seed pods burst open once they reach maturity!
