FAQ
Frequently asked questions.
How long does high-fat sesame flour last?
Due to its high oil content, it lasts about 3 months in a cool pantry, but up to 6-9 months if stored in the refrigerator or freezer.
Is high-fat sesame flour keto-friendly?
Yes, it is very keto-friendly as it is high in healthy fats and relatively low in net carbohydrates compared to grain flours.
What is the difference between high-fat and defatted sesame flour?
High-fat sesame flour contains the natural oils of the seed, making it more moist and calorie-dense, whereas defatted flour has had most oil removed, resulting in higher protein concentration and a drier texture.
Can I use this as a direct substitute for almond flour?
Yes, it is an excellent 1:1 substitute for almond flour in most recipes, especially for those with nut allergies.
How can I tell if my sesame flour has gone bad?
It will develop a sharp, bitter, or soapy smell and taste, indicating the natural oils have oxidized and turned rancid.
Does it contain gluten?
No, high-fat sesame flour is naturally gluten-free, though you should check for cross-contamination if you have Celiac disease.
What does high-fat sesame flour taste like?
It has a rich, toasted, and distinctly nutty flavor that is more intense than almond flour but milder than peanut flour.
Is it suitable for a Jain diet?
Yes, it is made from seeds and is not a root vegetable, making it suitable for most Jain dietary practices.
How should I prep it for baking?
Sift the flour before use as the high fat content can cause it to clump more easily than refined grain flours.
