Read about its history, seed, plant description, and its Benefits for Health.

• If you’re looking for high-quality sesame seeds, India is one of the largest producers of this valuable cash crop. Sesame seeds are among the oldest cultivated plants in the world, dating back to 1600 BC in the Tigris and Euphrates valleys. It was later found in the Indian subcontinent, where the oldest specimens and varieties of sesame crop were discovered.

• Sesame is known for its ability to grow in areas where other crops can’t, particularly in hot and dry conditions, which makes it a “survivor” crop. This makes it a preferred crop for agricultural companies like HL Argo, which require about 90 to 120 frost-free days to produce high-quality sesame crops. Moreover, the sesame crop needs little farming support and a little water as it grows in drought conditions and high heat, thanks to its extensive root system. It grows well in poor soils but produces the maximum yield when the farms are properly fertilized.

• Currently, India is one of the largest producers of sesame seeds, with countries like Tanzania, Myanmar, Sudan, China, and Nigeria also producing significant amounts. The sesame varieties can grow from 0.5 to 2.5 meters tall, with creamy or pearly white seeds that have a flattened pear shape. The seed capsules open when dry, allowing the seed to scatter, so considerable hand labour is needed to prevent loss of the seeds. With the development of a non-scattering variety of the plant in the mid-20th century, mechanized harvesting of the crop was made possible.

   

• Sesame seeds are an important part of the Indian export industry, and they are used for a variety of purposes, including cooking oil, flour, and whole seeds for blending into flour or topping baked goods. However, because sesame seeds are relatively delicate, they require careful handling to maintain their viability and oil quality. Seed cleaning equipment is used to remove foreign particles, and non-shattering types are combined at low cylinder speed to minimize seed damage and loss. Once the seeds are dehulled, they can be further processed and packaged for export. Sesame oil is also an essential ingredient in Indian cuisine and is widely used in many dishes due to its distinctive nutty flavour and aroma. We provide high-quality sesame oil, which is extracted from the finest sesame seeds using the latest technology. Our sesame oil is ideal for use in cooking, baking, or as a dressing for salads and other dishes.
