Beware: dyed black sesame

Beware of black sesame dyed with synthetic pigment mainly from coal tar oil for raw materials. It has no nutritional value and is poisonous to our body especially long-term excessive intake.

If you bought black sesame that turned water into a pot of "ink" after soaking, it's probably dyed by ink. Consumer Council stated that real black sesame will not turn water black while soaking.
