Brief Product Description:
Sesame seed is one of the oldest oilseed crops known to humanity, highly valued for its oil content (approximately 45–50%) and rich nutritional profile. A tiny powerhouse, sesame is packed with high-quality protein, dietary fiber, and a range of minerals such as calcium, iron, magnesium, and zinc. It contains sesamin and sesamolin—unique antioxidants that support cardiovascular health and offer anti-inflammatory properties.
Sesame seeds are about 3 to 4 millimeters long by 2 millimeters wide and 1 millimeter thick. The seeds are ovate, slightly flattened and somewhat thinner at the eye of the seed (hilum) than at the opposite end. The weight of the seeds is between 20 and 40 milligrams. The seed coat (testa) may be smooth or ribbed. Sesame seeds come in many colours depending on the cultivar harvested. The most traded variety of sesame is off-white coloured. Other common colours are buff, tan, gold, brown, reddish, gray and black.
