This bitterness is very mild in sesame seeds, in particular. It mostly enriches the flavor, which is so soft in hulled seeds that they usually go unnoticed in recipes.

Be careful when doing this because they burn easily. The most basic and yet fantastic thing you can make with organic unhulled sesame seeds is to toast them and mix 16:1 with toasted coarse salt.
