Reading the shelf…
Seed + Mill offers a range of sesame-based products that blend traditional Middle Eastern flavors with modern culinary creativity. Its selection includes diverse halva varieties, such as Cardamom and Sea Salt Dark Chocolate, each crafted from stone-ground sesame seeds and enriched with unique ingredients like almonds, rosemary, and tart cherries. The brand also features versatile tahini products, including an Organic Spicy Tahini and a Chocolate Sesame Sauce, designed to enhance both sweet and savory dishes with their rich, smooth textures and distinctive taste profiles.
