Quality & Sensory

Each batch is carefully hand-peeled and sun-dried to preserve its creamy ivory color, plump rounded shape, and smooth, firm texture. The seeds carry a faint, clean, nutty aroma. When simmered, they soften to a pleasant, slightly chewy bite and release a mild, subtly sweet flavor that blends gracefully into broths and porridges without overpowering other ingredients.
