Sesame is a plant grown in tropical regions. It produces seeds that are used for food: they can be eaten whole, hulled, dried, toasted … In short, in practically all ways. In addition, they are an excellent raw material aimed at the extraction of edible oil (a process during which a squeezing residue is obtained that is very similar to hazelnut flour: it is sesame flour). Sesame seed oil (which when refined is light yellow in color, has no odor and has a pleasant taste) is a very important food for Indian and African populations: it has the same value for them as for us the EVO oil – both in terms of uses and appreciation.<\/p>\n
Today, the consumption of sesame seeds and derivatives is constantly growing even in the West, and there are more and more delicious recipes with sesame.<\/p>\n
