The expression "open sesame" was inspired by sesame seeds and their habit of suddenly popping out of their seed pods when they're fully mature.

To release the oils and bring out a little more flavor, lightly toast the seeds in a dry pan briefly until an aroma is released. If time is a concern, we offer toasted sesame seeds here at Savory. Due to their high oil content of about 50%, we recommend storing them in the freezer to increase shelf life. We also offer black sesame seeds.

Althought the exact origin of sesame seeds is not known, the Chinese have been using them for the past 5,000 years.
