Natural Brown or Black Natural is whole sesame - it is more beige in color actually (check out the picture), but in the seed world it is called either Natural or Brown, or both. Black is Black - it can get none more Black.

Put 2/3 Cup of seed* into a bowl or into your Sprouter. Empty the seeds into your sprouter if necessary. Rinse thoroughly with cool (60-70°) water. Rinse and Drain again in 4-12 hours. We usually stop here. We like our sprouts small. Note: Some people find Sesame bitter if sprouted too long so be sure to taste it at every rinse to see what you like best. Many people sprout Sesame for only 1 day. You decide! Depending on your climate and the time of year you are sprouting and most importantly your personal preference - You may Rinse and Drain again at 4-12 hour intervals for several days. However - we prefer to sprout only to the point where most of the seeds have sprouted tiny (1/16 inch) roots, which is typically after just 2 or 3 Rinse and Drain cycles. As always, we suggest that you taste your crop at EVERY RINSE - including the very first - just after the Soak period. The soaked seeds are already alive and though they may not be their most nutritious they are still very nutritious - they are already without enzyme inhibitors (a very good thing indeed) so they'll digest themselves and nourish your cells without requiring anything from your body! Grow them for as long as you like (as long as you continue to Rinse and Drain and taste every 8-12 hours) and find out for yourself when they are most delicious! Experiment! Have Fun! It's All Good! Harvest The goal during the final 8-12 hours is to minimize the surface moisture of your sprouts - they will store best in your refrigerator if they are dry to the touch. Refrigerate Note: Sesame doesn't store well, even in refrigeration. Like Pumpkin Seed it can turn bitter after just a couple days, but then again, it doesn't always. Here is an idea: Sprout just what you need. Sesame can be done within a day, so why not?! * If using Single Harvest Pack use the whole bag. Remember that the yield will be approximately 1.5:1, so in theory you can start with as much as 2/3 as much dry seed as your Sprouter has capacity.

Description Sesame is a small seed which makes a great, nutritious addition to many a meal - sprinkle it on salads, sandwiches, stirfry, desserts, souffles - you name it - it is quite inocuous due to its size and tenderness when sprouted. Black Sesame - new in 2007. When sprouted it is a beautiful Black and White (the sprouts are white), like tiny dominos, or as I like to call it Sprouts Noir (Like Film Noir, you know?;-) These seeds have their hull on. Hulled Sesame won't sprout and the hull is insignificant anyway.
Black is Black - it can get none more Black. Sprouting Devices
