Description
White Sesame seeds are the hulled seeds of the sesame plant, an annual plant botanically known as Sesamum indicum. The sesame seeds grow within the plant’s fruit, which pops open when ripe, scattering the seeds in the process. This can make harvesting challenging, so farmers either collect the fruit before it has ripened and dried them off the plant, or they hang a cloth beneath the plants to catch the seeds as they exit the fruits. White til holds a prominent place in Ayurveda due to its ability to generate heat and energy inside the body.
Sesame seeds are dark brown to black when harvested. To get White Sesame seeds, the dark hull of the seed is removed, resulting in a creamier and sweeter seed with an off-white color and softer crunch.
