Natural Sesame Seeds description :
Sesame seeds are tiny, flat oval seeds with a nutty taste and a delicate, almost invisible crunch. They come in a host of different colors, depending upon the variety, including white, yellow, black and red.
Sesame seed is one of the oldest cultivated plants in the world. It was a highly prized crop of Babylon and Assyria at least 4000 years ago. Today is the world’s largest Sesame seeds producers followed by Mexico, Nigeria, Sudan, Burma, Venezuela, Uganda, Turkey, China and Ethopia. Sesame was introduced to the United states in the 1930’s.
Sesame seeds are highly valued for their high content of Sesame oil, an oil that is very resistant to rancidity. Sesame seeds are the main ingredients in both Tahini and the Middle Eastern sweet treat, halvah.
Sesame seeds (approximately 50% oil and 25% protein) are used in bakery and confectionary. Candy making and other food industries. Oil from the seed is used in cooking, salad oils, margarine and contains about 47% oleic acid and 39% linoleic acid. Food fried in Sesame oil have a log shelf life because the oil contains a antioxidant called ‘Sesamol’. The oil can be used in manufacturing of soaps, paints, perfumes, pharmaceuticals and insecticides.
