A Sweet Taste of Lowcountry Tradition
Crisp, nutty, and delicately sweet, Charleston Benne Wafers are a classic Southern treat with a history as rich as their flavor. Made with roasted sesame seeds—known as benne, a West African word brought to the South through the Gullah culture—these thin wafers have been a staple of Charleston hospitality for over a century.
 
Often given as a symbol of good luck and prosperity, benne wafers pair beautifully with tea, coffee, or served alongside desserts and cheese boards. Whether you're sharing a taste of the Lowcountry or savoring it for yourself, these time-honored cookies deliver a bite-sized piece of Charleston's culinary heritage.
