Sesame Seeds
Why Sesame Seed Quality is Important? Sesame seeds are widely used in food products, bakery items, confectionery, tahini, snacks and oil production. Sesame seeds are naturally rich in healthy fats, protein, fibre and minerals. The quality of sesame depends on factors such as seed size, colour, purity, moisture, oil content and cleanliness. High-quality sesame seeds should have a uniform appearance, natural colour, good aroma and clean taste. Sesame is available in different varieties, including white sesame, natural sesame, hulled sesame and black sesame. Proper cleaning, grading and processing help maintain the quality, purity and shelf life of sesame seeds.
