Indian sesame is an annual plant belonging to the oilseed species of the family (sesame) . It is characterized by a long, branched stem that can reach a height of 1.5 meters. The stem is covered with fine hairs and it grows large, tooth-shaped leaves. Sesame flowers are self-pollinated and reach a length of about 3 cm. They are usually attached to short stems and are white, red, or purple in color. However, the most important thing is the fruit of this plant. Because it is in their sachets that valuable flat seeds of various colors (from white to black) are found. Interestingly, sesame is one of the oldest plants cultivated by humans. It is estimated that its first crops appeared thousands of years ago. Nowadays, vast arable fields of sesame are found mainly in India and China. However, Central American countries (including Mexico and Guatemala) and Sudan are also recognized as the main producers of this product.
Black sesame seeds have a flat, oval shape and a slightly nutty flavor with a sweet note. Due to its location, this plant is widely used in Indian and Chinese cuisine, where it is used in both dry dishes and sweet desserts. Interestingly, black sesame is also firmly rooted in the culture and natural medicine of both countries. It is considered a spice of the gods themselves, capable of enriching us with vitality and fighting many diseases.
All this is due to the valuable nutrients, vitamins and minerals contained in these small grains.

In addition, black sesame seeds contain irreplaceable vitamins (such as: vitamin A, B vitamins and vitamin E) and valuable minerals (including: magnesium, iron, phosphorus, manganese, zinc, selenium, copper and calcium) .
