• Where can I buy this?
• What recipes use this?

Small jar.
Big jar, it’s already toasted, so you can use it right after opening.
However, I recommend roasting raw sesame seeds.

How to roast raw sesame seeds:

1. Wash 1 cup of sesame seeds in running water using a colander and drain water
2. Heat a pan or wok over medium to low heat and pour the washed sesame seeds
3. Stir it with a wooden spoon until evenly golden and crispy. It will pop when it’s cooked It may take about 10 minutes.
