Sesame seeds are widely used in Asian cuisine, and are often used as a garnish for sushi. They are sprinkled on the outside of California rolls and other cut rolls, and add a nutty flavor to any food. AFC has extended their product line to include sushi related products to diversify the consumer’s sushi eating experience, and popularize ingredients used in traditional Japanese foods.
