Sesame can also be regarded as a successful career and academic progress. As the saying goes, "sesame blossoms are rising day by day", which means rising day by day.
Sesame is a common grain in daily life, which is mainly divided into white sesame and black sesame. Sesame has a long history in China, which originated from Indian and Egyptian countries. It is one of the main oil crops in China and one of the four edible oil crops, which has high application value.
Sesame can be divided into black sesame and white sesame. When purchasing, it is better to have bright and pure color, big and full skin, small mouth, no moth and no broken lines. Black sesame is oblate, blunt at one end and sharp at the other. The surface is black, with reticular wrinkles, rich in oil, light in smell and taste, and fragrant when chewing. Take a big, dark, full and free of impurities as the best.
Method for selecting black sesame seeds
1, look at the appearance
Normal black sesame seeds will fade slightly when soaked in water, but the color is too dark. This is because the natural pigment in black sesame has a process of dissolving in water and will not fade immediately, except for aged black sesame.
Step 2 cut with a knife
Because only the seed coat of black sesame is black and the endosperm is white, you can cut black sesame with a knife. If the inside is white, it means it is true sesame, otherwise it is dyed sesame.
3. Look at this crack
Find a black sesame with a fracture in the black sesame to be purchased and look at the color of the fracture. If the fracture is also black, it proves to be dyed black sesame.
4. use a handkerchief or paper towel to distinguish authenticity.
Grab a little black sesame and put it on a wet handkerchief or a wet paper towel. What does not fade is the real black sesame.
