Sesame seed powder as soil amendment?

I have a big old 1 kilo bag of sesame seed powder (fluffy ground up sesame seeds) that is sitting unopened in my pantry because I have no use for it in my cooking. I have no memory of where it came from, but there it is, patiently awaiting its expiration date.
Like any obsessive gardener, I started to wonder if it might be useful in some way as a soil amendment, mulch, or just to add to the compost. Hmmm...
Apparently there are 20 mg of salt in the whole bag. Is that significant enough to be a concern?
We also have a 20 kg bag of flour that someone gave us which we couldn't eat fast enough and has gone rancid. How would one go about composting that, I wonder?
Would love to hear some ideas! Thank you!
