Rachel Simons is the founder of Seed + Mill, a woman-owned company bringing the ancient ingredients of tahini and halva to modern kitchens.

Inspired by her passion for food and community, Rachel transitioned from a successful legal career to the culinary world, where she now celebrates the beauty and versatility of sesame.

Through Seed + Mill, she’s built a brand rooted in quality, sustainability, and creativity — sourcing the finest sesame seeds and crafting products that elevate both savory and sweet dishes.

Rachel is also the author of SESAME, a cookbook that celebrates the flavor, history, and health benefits of this ancient seed through inspired, nourishing recipes.
