Black sesame cereal can be enjoyed in several ways, depending on the type of cereal. Some are prepared as a hot drink, while others are ready-to-eat.
Preparing Hot Black Sesame Cereal
Many black sesame cereals are prepared by mixing the powder with hot water. Follow the package instructions, but generally:
- Mix: Combine the recommended amount of black sesame cereal powder (e.g., 1-2 servings, or 25g) with hot water (e.g., 150ml).
- Stir: Thoroughly stir until the powder dissolves and a smooth consistency is achieved.
- Consume: Enjoy immediately. According to one source, once opened, consume within one day. (Source: Add 180ml of boiling water, stir and it is ready to drink. Once opened, consume within 1 day.)
Some recipes call for additional ingredients like glutinous rice flour or even walnuts for added texture and flavor.

Enjoying Ready-to-Eat Black Sesame Cereal
Other black sesame cereals may be ready-to-eat, similar to traditional breakfast cereals. These might be eaten directly from the box, or added to other foods like yogurt or milk. One user mentions enjoying it as a "pour-age". (Source: Greenmax Yam & Black Sesame Instant Cereal, 12 ... - Amazon.com). Some individuals incorporate it into a vegan diet, adding ingredients like ground flaxseed and green powder. (Source: Black Sesame Cereal).
Variations and Considerations
The preparation method depends entirely on the specific brand and type of black sesame cereal. Always check the product packaging for instructions. Some cereals are specifically designed as instant drinks, while others require more preparation.
