Wild sesame is very similar to black sesame seeds used in sweets. Since the flavor is so good, I use it in place of regular sesame seeds when cooking. It also supposedly contains neutral fats and helps lower cholesterol, so eating it will apparently help you live 10 years longer. Plus, I can use it often to make local dishes from my hometown, which is why it's one of my favorite ingredients.

-Boil the gnocchi over medium heat to create a plump and delicious texture straight through to the centers.

-Roast the wild sesame in a frying pan over low heat until they begin to pop. Grinding the seeds with a mortar and pestle enhances their flavor. Recipe by *chifon*
