Guest guest Posted June 6, 2006 Report Share Posted June 6, 2006 Hi, I have question about sesame seeds. After I soak them do I need to rinse them? Or do I just use them? If I don't use them right away do I need to dehydrate them or can they stay in the frig for a few days? Terri Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My understanding is that the hull is indigestible, so if you don't they'll just pass through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 6, 2006 Report Share Posted June 6, 2006 Thank you. Maybe grinding them before soaking like flax seeds? How about the rinsing? Is there a rule like rinse nuts after soaking, and do not rinse seeds? Anthony D'Atri <aad wrote:le like > > Hi, > I have question about sesame seeds. After I soak them do I need > to rinse them?

Guest guest Posted June 6, 2006 Report Share Posted June 6, 2006 You need to rinse them. A " chinois " works best, but in lieu, a fine wired strainer might also do the job. They will keep in the fridge for several days. On Jun 5, 2006, at 5:57 PM, Anthony D'Atri wrote: > >> >> Hi, >> I have question about sesame seeds. After I soak them do I need >> to rinse them?

Guest guest Posted June 6, 2006 Report Share Posted June 6, 2006 I had to look up what a chinois is. Pricey little thing. http://www.cooking.com/products/shprodde.asp?SKU=138858 So I will try a fine strainer first. Thank you. Terri Lorraine Barnes <lorrainehbarnes wrote: You need to rinse them.

Guest guest Posted June 6, 2006 Report Share Posted June 6, 2006 To my understanding, all nuts and seeds have enzyme inhibitors which are removed when the seeds or nuts are soaked. At the Tree, we used hulled sesame seeds. We never ground before soaking. We soaked overnight and then rinsed. On Jun 5, 2006, at 6:12 PM, Terri Zappone wrote: > Thank you.

Guest guest Posted June 7, 2006 Report Share Posted June 7, 2006 Thank you. Much better price. I rinsed them through a plain wire strainer and it worked.
