I had a misdiagnosed sesame allergy and I spent decades irritated by having to pull off the seeds or ask for 2 bottom buns. I’m thrilled to see more seedless options
What I’ve always wondered: What exactly do these seeds add to the experience? I never really got the point of sesame seeds. Now that I can eat them again I still don’t get it.
- astura 4y agoI love them - they add a really nice taste and a bit of texture.

- toast0 4y agoOn hamburger buns, seasame seeds are usually pretty sparse, but add a little bit of texture, and if the seads get heated enough when the buns are toasted, sometimes a bit stronger flavor. On other breads, sometimes there's enough density that you get a real flavor from the seeds.
- bombcar 4y agoMy joke is they add texture for grip so the burger doesn't slide out of your hand. But they do seem to make the bun a bit "higher class" somehow.
