Believed to be one of the
world’s first spices, sesame seeds
have a very distinct aroma and taste
that makes it a very valuable spice.
Cultivated primarily for its oil
rich seeds, these tiny, flat oval
seeds, measuring about 3 mm (1/8 in)
long are rich in nutrition.
Sesame seeds contain manganese,
copper, and calcium (90 mg per
tablespoon for unhulled seeds, only
10 mg for hulled seeds), and contain
Vitamin B1 (thiamine) and Vitamin E
(tocopherol). They contain powerful
antioxidants called lignans, which
are also anti-carcinogenic. They
also contain phytosterols, which
block cholesterol production.
Though seed colour can vary, they
are usually beige or creamy white
when husked. The food and nutrition
industry constitute the major
consumers of Sesame seeds.
India dominates the world market and
is the largest producer of sesame
seeds. Three distinct varieties of
sesame seeds are produced in the
country:
|
|
| |
 Natural
White
Hulled
sesame seeds
Natural
Jet Black
|
|
| |
Natural White Sesame Seeds |
|
| |
These flat and tiny seeds contain
about 50 to 60% of fatty oil, which
is characterized by a two lignanes,
sesamin and sesamolin. During
refinement two phenolic
antioxidants, sesamol and sesaminol
are formed.
A distinct quality of the white
sesame seed from Ami Oil Mill is its |
 |
uniformity in
colour and bold size.
Seeds from our factory have an
enhanced nutty taste that is the
hallmark of pure seeds. The taste
becomes even more profound when they
are roasted.

seeds are screened thoroughly to
remove the admixtures and the outer
skin of the seeds are removed,
yielding a pearl white hulled sesame
seed. This helps ensure that the
shelf life of the seed is increased
and the nutritional value, colour
and shape of the seed is not
affected, but enriched. |
