The Smartfox NZ collection includes white sesame seeds, black sesame seeds and white hulled sesame seeds from brands including Smart Choice, Gilmours, Balars, Macro, Tasti, Freshlife and Woolworths. Pack sizes range from 70g to 3kg, catering to home kitchens, bakeries, restaurants and commercial food preparation.

White Sesame Seeds for Baking and Everyday Cooking:

White sesame seeds are commonly used in bread making, burger buns, crackers, homemade granola and savoury cooking. They can be sprinkled over baked goods or incorporated into recipes for additional texture and flavour.

Other options include Macro Sesame Seeds in 70g packs, Freshlife and Tasti Sesame Seeds in 100g packs, and Woolworths Sesame Seeds in 300g packs.

These smaller quantities are practical for everyday cooking and occasional baking.

Black Sesame Seeds for Asian-Inspired Recipes:

Black sesame seeds provide a distinctive dark colour and nutty flavour, making them particularly useful for Asian-inspired dishes and decorative food garnishes.

The range includes Smart Choice Black Sesame Seeds in 500g packs, Balars Black Sesame Seeds in 500g quantities and Gilmours Black Sesame Seeds in larger 3kg packs.

Black sesame seeds can be used in rice dishes, noodles, salads, homemade crackers and baked goods. Their contrasting colour also makes them useful for garnishing sushi, rice bowls and other prepared dishes.

Bulk Sesame Seeds for Catering and Commercial Kitchens:

For kitchens that use sesame seeds regularly, the collection includes Gilmours Sesame Seeds in 500g and 3kg packs, alongside a 3kg black sesame seed option.

These larger quantities suit bakeries, restaurants and catering businesses preparing sesame-topped breads, savoury dishes and seasoning blends.

Choosing the Right Sesame Seeds:

When selecting sesame seeds, consider the colour, preparation style and quantity required.

White sesame seeds are a practical choice for general baking and cooking, while black sesame seeds offer a contrasting appearance for garnishes and Asian-inspired recipes. Hulled sesame seeds provide another option when a recipe calls specifically for seeds with the outer hull removed.

Smaller packs suit occasional home cooking, while 500g, 1kg and 3kg quantities are useful for regular food preparation.
