Hulled white sesame 1000g - VIVIO

Sesame is an annual plant classified as an oilseed. It is a branched perennial with a stem about 50 centimeters tall. Interestingly, this plant is characterized by large green leaves with serrated edges. For generations, the most valuable component of sesame has been its fruit, which contains seed sacs containing up to eighty tiny sesame seeds. The well-known grains are characterized by a flat, slightly oval shape and usually measure about 3 mm. They are white immediately after peeling them from the capsule. However, they take on a slightly creamy color over time.
Interestingly, sesame is one of the oldest oilseeds cultivated by humans. The first references to it can be found in sources dating back as far as 4,000 years. It is worth noting that in ancient Babylon, small sesame seeds were considered a seasoning for the gods themselves. This product was also very popular in Africa, China, and India, where even its new variety (Indian sesame) was bred. Although times have changed, sesame has not lost its popularity. Today, it is widely cultivated in India and China. However, South and Central American countries, as well as Sudan, are also considered global producers of this delicacy.
Sesame has been part of human life for so long that it has found a permanent place in our culture and even religion. In many cultures, it is considered a symbol of happiness and health. It is not surprising, after all, that it contains many vitamins and minerals. Among them, calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, selenium, zinc, and iron deserve special attention. In addition, hulled sesame is able to provide our body with B vitamins (including irreplaceable folic acid) . However, the most valuable thing in sesame seeds is unsaturated fatty acids such as sesamol and phenolic sesaminol. In addition, these small grains contain plant phytosterols necessary for the proper functioning of the circulatory system.
Hulled sesame has a sweet, slightly buttery taste. It is also distinguished by its unusual aroma, which has been used not only in cooking, but also in the cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries.
