🌿 Tazawan Nuvvulu Brown

🤎 Brown Sesame Seeds • Traditional Indian Ingredient • Naturally Nutritious

🌱 A Traditional Seed for Everyday Cooking

Tazawan Nuvvulu Brown refers to brown sesame seeds, known as Nuvvulu in Telugu. These small, naturally brown seeds have a distinctive nutty flavour and are widely used in traditional Indian cooking.

Sesame seeds are valued for their versatility and nutritional composition. They naturally contain plant-based protein, dietary fibre, healthy fats and minerals, making them a useful ingredient in a varied and balanced diet.

In Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, sesame seeds are traditionally used in spice powders, chutneys, sweets, laddus and festive preparations. Light roasting brings out their characteristic aroma and enhances their nutty flavour.

At Tazawan, we celebrate traditional ingredients that connect regional food heritage with everyday home cooking.
