Often, life as a graduate student can get you stuck in the lab for hours on end. Or something is just too crucial to go out and eat in the cafeteria. The could leave feeling hungry most of the time. The best thing to do is have a sandwich nearby. That’s what I usually have, some tuna spread or egg salad or some meat, whatever bread that takes my fancy and presto, I have my lunch or dinner. A cup of coffee or hot chocolate wouldn’t hurt either. I also have an assortment of herbs and spices to make my sandwiches more special. Like a few weeks ago, my friend bought me some black sesame seeds. Too many for my needs. So there they go in my pasta and sandwiches. Now, they’re sandwiches with an Asian twist. Little did I know, sesame seeds pack a lot of antioxidant punch! So I’m sharing this post to ARF/5-A-Day Tuesday courtesy of Sweetnicks.

Where did you get the black sesame seeds from? I have been wanting those for my breads.

You could get black sesame seeds from Asian stores. If it’s a Korean and Japanese store, they are more likely to have them.
