Partially defatted sesame flour
Partially defatted sesame flour is finely ground sesame seed with some oil removed, contributing nutty flavour and dry solids to baking and seasoning applications.

About Partially defatted sesame flour
Partially defatted sesame flour is finely ground sesame seed material after some of its oil has been removed. It is generally beige to light brown, powdery, and has a toasted or nutty sesame flavour, though colour and intensity vary with the seeds and processing. It differs from whole-seed sesame flour and from sesame paste in both oil content and texture.
It is used in some baking, seasoning and formulated-food applications to contribute sesame flavour and dry solids. The degree of defatting and the grind are not fixed by the name, so products can behave differently in recipes and should not be assumed to replace whole sesame seeds or full-fat sesame flour one-for-one.
