2409.0. "Sesame Seeds " by OCTAVE::VIGNEAULT (We're all bozos on this Q-bus) Mon May 07 1990 15:19

    
    I saw some black sesame seeds the other day in the Oriental market.
    Do these differ dramatically from the common whitish variety sold
    in most supermarkets, in other words will they work equally as well
    in recipes calling for sesame seeds ?  Is there a difference in the
    flavor ?
    
    Thanks, Lar

I think that there is a difference in flavor.  Chinese cookbooks always
differentiate between the two.

    Larry, a co-worker here is checking with her Chinese grandmother,
    but she feels certain that there is an appreciable difference.
    She told me there's a wonderful soup that can be made using the 
    black seeds in combination with rice and sugar.  I'll look into
    sending that to you.
