Embark on a journey through time with natural sesame seeds, revered as the oldest known oilseed crop, domesticated over 5000 years ago. This survivor crop, celebrated for its resilience and ability to flourish where others falter, has become an integral part of global cuisines for millennia, imparting a rich nutty flavor to diverse dishes.
Thriving in well-drained sandy soil and tropical climates, sesame stands tall at around 5 feet, adorned with an abundance of pink-white foxglove-type flowers. The ensuing pods hold a treasure trove of sesame seeds, appearing in white, brown, or black, depending on the cultivar type and neatly arranged in rows.
Beyond their flavorful crunch, sesame seeds are hailed as healthy foods, boasting one of the highest oil contents among seeds. Despite the caloric contribution from fats, sesame seeds pack a nutritional punch, offering essential nutrients, minerals, antioxidants, and vitamins vital for overall wellness.
The Sri Lankan sesame season unfolds its splendor from June to December, its duration dictated by the crop size. The current domestic production stands at approximately 10,000 metric tons, with a promising trajectory as new lands are cultivated each year.
