Organic, Crushed for Garnishing
[Chung-O] Organic Toasted & Crushed Sesame Seeds (깨소금)
Introducing Chung-O's Organic Toasted & Crushed Sesame Seeds!
In many Korean recipes, you'll find a staple ingredient called 깨소금 ('kkae-so-geum'), which refers to coarsely ground sesame seeds.
When sesame seeds are crushed (as opposed to whole sesame seeds), their nutty aroma and flavor intensify, adding delightful texture to dishes.
This crushed sesame seed seasoning is a classic finishing touch for Korean banchans, noodle dishes, and bibimbap.
While some may opt to crush whole seeds using a mortar and pestle, many home cooks find this step cumbersome.
That's why you'll often find both whole sesame seeds and crushed sesame seeds stocked in Korean pantries.
Today, we're excited to introduce our organic crushed sesame seeds.
It's made with one ingredient: 100% organic sesame seeds (imported from India).
Furthermore, Chung-O uses germinated sesame seeds. This germination process activates enzymes in the seeds, making the nutrients more accessible and easier to digest. As a result, these sesame seeds have higher vitamin & mineral content compared to regular sesame seeds.
To ensure quality, Chung-O washes the sesame seeds three times during processing, effectively removing any impurities or debris.
Following that, the seeds are toasted - at a low temperature - to enhance their nutty flavor and retain nutritional value.
Chung-O Sesame Seeds are a perfect choice for garnishing your well-made Korean dishes!
Available in 90g size.

[청오] 유기농 발아 깨소금
Certified organic, germinated, then toasted and crushed
Kkae-so-geum (깨소금) is sesame seeds toasted and lightly crushed to release their aroma. It's the classic finishing touch in Korean cooking, sprinkled over banchan, bibimbap, soups and stews.
Chung-O makes theirs from certified organic sesame seeds, germinated with their own patented process before toasting. Germination activates enzymes in the seeds, making the nutrients easier to access and digest.
The organic sesame seeds are grown in India, then germinated, toasted and crushed by Chung-O in Korea.
Lightly crushed for more aroma
Crushing the toasted seeds releases their nutty aroma and adds a little texture, so a small pinch goes a long way.
Every batch is washed three times, then toasted at a low temperature for a delicious, flavorful and nutrient-rich result.
Certified organic, made in a certified facility
Chung-O specializes in eco-friendly food. This kkae-so-geum carries Korea's official organic processed food certification, and Chung-O's facility is certified for both HACCP and FSSC 22000 food safety.
Germinated with Chung-O's own process
Chung-O sprouts its sesame seeds at just the right moisture and temperature, using its own patented germination process.
Germination activates enzymes in the seeds, making the nutrients easier to access and digest. It also breaks down complex compounds and raises vitamin and mineral levels compared to regular sesame seeds.

Chung-O's five promises
Raw seeds are first inspected for pesticides and other harmful substances. Stalks, stems and other debris are removed, then the seeds are washed thoroughly and germinated.
Next, every batch is screened for metal and other impurities, and finally sent for quality testing, including microbial tests, before it ships.
Small seed, lots of nutrition
Sesame seeds are a rich source of protein, vitamin B1, dietary fiber, phosphorus, iron, magnesium, calcium, manganese, copper and zinc.
Sprinkle over namul, bibimbap, guk, jjigae and fried rice. Comes in a 90g shaker jar.
