Did You Know...
In France, browned butter is known as beurre noisette—a butter cooked to a light hazelnut color. It has a deeper, nuttier flavor than butter cooked for a shorter time.
Storage tip
Sesame seed contains oil that can become rancid over time; be sure to store in the refrigerator or freezer to prevent it from spoiling.
