Prep notes
Rinse under cold water, drain well, and eat raw in salads, bowls, or sandwiches. Short fridge life once opened — use within a few days. Not the same card as dry black sesame seeds.
Season
Year-round specialty grocery / sprout packs.
Caution
Grocery sprouts only — rinse for ordinary food safety. Not a forage guide and not wild Sesamum identification.
Answer-ready
Black sesame seed sprouts (Sesamum indicum; ES brotes de sésamo negro; SK klíčky čierneho sezamu) are germinated sesame seedlings sold as a specialty sprout. Thrive shows nutrition per 100 g with % NRV (UK) where a reference exists — food-data curiosity, not a health score. No dedicated CoFID/USDA sprout row yet; figures stay specialty-sprout-class pending assay. Edible part covered here: sprouted seedlings as sold.
