Natural Sesame Seeds

Premium Natural Sesame Seeds from Nigeria

Sesame seeds are the oldest oilseeds known to humans. Sesame seed is the seed of the sesame plant (Sesamum indicum). The plant is an annual herb with foxglove-like flowers that produce pods containing the edible sesame seeds. The pods burst open with a pop when the seeds are mature. The hulls are removed as they contain oxalic acid, which gives a bitter flavor. The seeds can also be pressed for sesame oil.

Besides use as a condiment, in Asia, the toasted seeds are used to make sesame paste, which is often used as a peanut butter substitute. In Middle Eastern and Asian cuisine, the untoasted seeds are used to make tahini paste.

Africa: The Global Sesame Hub

Traditionally India, China and Myanmar were the largest growers of Sesame. As economies changed, farmers in these countries moved to crops with higher yields. Now Africa is the dominant player in Sesame. Sudan, Tanzania, Ethiopia, Nigeria and Burkina Faso in total export in excess of 1 million tons per year. While planting and harvesting season in countries north of equator coincide, Tanzania is counter seasonal harvest. In effect, Africa has become a year round supplier of Sesame to rest of the world.

As the harvesting cannot be mechanized, Sesame has come to stay in Africa. Sesame is basically a small-holders crop. 90% of Sesame farmers have not more than 3 hectares of farm land. Sesame has provided a livelihood for millions of farmers across Africa.
