We’ve seen the rise of matcha-flavored everything and chili crisp…and now? Black sesame is about to become the next big thing in American pantries.
At Rooted Fare, my childhood friend (and fellow Chinese American) Hedy and I transformed this traditional Chinese ingredient into a unique spread that's converting crunchy peanut butter loyalists into sesame superfans. Our Crunchy Black Sesame Butter is:
- Inspired by tang yuan, a beloved Lunar New Year dessert we grew up eating
- Packed with iron, calcium, and antioxidants (our grandmas would approve!)
- Versatile: great on toast, in baking, or straight off the spoon (our personal favorite)
- Vegan and made with only premium, recognizable ingredients
The Crunchy Black Sesame Butter retails for $15 for an 8oz jar and is available on our website (rootedfare.com) and in over 100 independent stores and Bristol Farms.
