Sesame Seed
India’s Harvest, the World’s Choice
About Sesame Seed
Sesame seeds ('Til') are one of the oldest oilseed crops known to humanity, cherished for a rich, nutty flavor that deepens beautifully upon toasting. These incredibly versatile seeds are a staple in global cuisines. In India, they are essential for sweets like 'ladoos' and 'chikkis'. Internationally, they are ground into a creamy paste called Tahini, a cornerstone of Middle Eastern food, and pressed into a flavorful oil used across Asia. As a powerhouse of healthy oils, protein, calcium, and minerals, sesame is as nutritious as it is delicious.
