Sesam Seed
Sesame seeds
Sesame seeds, the tiny seeds of the Sesamum indicum plant, are one of the oldest oilseeds cultivated by humans, known for their nutty flavor and versatility. These seeds are widely used in the food industry, appearing in baked goods, snack bars, sauces, and as a garnish for salads and stir-fries. Sesame seeds are rich in healthy fats, protein, calcium, and antioxidants like sesamin and sesamol, which contribute to heart health, bone strength, and immune support. Their culinary versatility and nutritional value make sesame seeds a staple ingredient in both traditional and modern recipes.
Origin
We source our sesame seeds from India and Africa, leveraging each region’s unique strengths to deliver high-quality products. India, known for its expertise in cultivating diverse sesame varieties, offers robust quality control and a supply chain designed for consistent and premium-grade seeds. African sesame, particularly the peeled variety, is highly sought after for its clean, light color and desirable texture, which make it ideal for industrial and culinary uses. The choice to source peeled sesame from Africa is driven by the region’s expertise in processing techniques that meet global standards. By sourcing from these regions, we ensure access to a steady supply of superior sesame seeds, supporting the demands of international markets while maintaining a commitment to sustainability and fair trade practices.
