Sesame seeds

​

Sesame seeds, the bee to our honey,  the yin to our Yang, a product which we are incredibly passionate about and as a result also our biggest commodity. We source it from all over the world and have a wide range of varieties, tastes, and qualities available. From the sweetest and whitest seed from Ethiopia and Burkina Faso, to the smaller and darker seeds from Uganda, we can advise the most suitable varieties to tailor your needs.

Sesame seed is one of the oldest oilseed crops known, domesticated well over 3000 years ago. Sesamum has many other species, most being wild and native to sub-Saharan Africa. S. indicum, the cultivated type, originated in India and is tolerant to drought-like conditions, growing where other crops fail. Sesame has one of the highest oil contents of any seed. With a rich, nutty flavor, it is a common ingredient in cuisines across the world. Like other seeds and foods, it can trigger allergic reactions in some people.
