White sesame seeds are commonly used in sesame oil, salad dressings, and various Japanese home-cooking dishes like goma-ae (sesame-seasoned vegetables) and furikake (rice seasoning). They add a nice touch to meals and even come in handy for making snacks. Their distinct flavor is nutty and slightly sweet.

Compared to black sesame seeds, white sesame contains more fat, making it a good choice for relieving constipation. However, since white sesame has a cooling nature, people who tend to feel cold or have cold hands and feet (yang deficiency) should avoid eating too much.

Also, the linoleic acid in white sesame seeds oxidizes easily, so be sure to enjoy them while they're fresh!
