Unlike hulled sesame, unhulled or natural sesame still has the nutrition of the hull, and will grow sprouts. Sesame sprouts are best grown for 2-3 days.
- Days to Sprout: 2 to 3
- Soak Time: 4-8 hours
- Yield: 1 tbsp dry seed yields 1/2 cup of sprouts
- Storage: Our seeds should sprout well for a year after you purchase them, if stored in a cool dry place. If you’d like to extend the germination life of your seeds, store them in the fridge. If you store your seeds in the freezer, they’ll last even longer!
Sprouting Directions
Soak: Put 1-2 Tbsp. seed in a wide mouth jar with a sprouting lid. Add water, swirl, and drain. Refill jar with water and soak 4-12 hours. Drain well and invert jar at an angle on a sprouting or draining rack, or in a bowl or drain rack.
Rinse: Twice a day, refill jar with cold water, swirl, and drain well.
Enjoy! Ready to eat in 2-3 days. Refrigerate to store. (Sprouts store best when they are fairly dry.)
Sesame has one of the highest oil contents of any seed.

I like the produce for sprouting and using them in hot cereal. I soak the seeds for about 6 hours and sprout them for 1 day. They are rich in calcium, potassium and stress vitamins.

I have found the sesame seeds, and in fact all the seeds that I have purchased from Mumm’s over the last 20 years to be of excellent quality in germination, vitality and taste. I sprout the seeds and I also grind them up, add a touch of water and use as a replacement for butter. My diet is pretty much vegan, so Sesame is an excellent calcium source. Mumms sesame seeds are fresh and clean, with lots of sprouting vitality.

These are so tasty, I’ve been using them to make creamy salad dressing or living hummus with sprouted chickpeas,.

I love to use these as tiny sprout, sometimes with oats and buckwheat. They are wonderfully delicious when sprouted for a day or two and mixed with berries.
