Sesame seeds are believed to be one of the first condiments as well as one of the first plants to be used for edible oil.
In what is believed to be the earliest recorded use of a spice, an Assyrian myth stated that the gods drank wine made from sesame seeds the night before they created the earth.
The sesame plant has white to pink flowers which develop within eight weeks of planting. Once fertilized, seeds will appear in four to six weeks. When they are ripe, sesamepods burst open to reveal the seeds inside, leading to the famous quote “Open Sesame.”
When eaten whole, the seeds are rich in manganese, copper, calcium, and vitamins B1 and E. The oil alone is also rich in vitamins B1 and E, and is sometimes integrated into skin care products.
Sesame seeds add a nutty taste and a delicate, almost invisible, crunch to many Asian dishes. They are also the main ingredients in tahini (sesame seed paste) and the wonderful Middle Eastern sweets
