Surigoma, or ground sesame, is ready to use straight from the pack. Of course, it’s much more fragrant if you roast and grind the seeds just before cooking, but in everyday life we don’t always have much time. So I sometimes use this kind of ready- made products- it’s really handy. Sesame comes in white, black, and golden varieties.
