Black Sesame 500g - VIVIO

Indian sesame is an annual plant belonging to the species of oilseeds of the (sesame) family. It is characterized by a long, branched trunk that can reach a height of up to 1.5 meters. The trunk is covered with fine hairs and large tooth-shaped leaves grow. Sesame flowers are self-pollinating and reach a length of about 3 cm. They are usually perched on short stalks and are white, red, or purple in color. But the most important thing is the fruits of this plant. Because valuable flaxseeds of different colors (from white to black) are found in their pockets. Interestingly, sesame is one of the oldest plants cultivated by man. It is estimated that its first crops appeared thousands of years ago. Nowadays you can find huge areas of arable land for sesame, especially in India and China. Nevertheless, the countries of Central America (including Mexico and Guatemala) and Sudan are also considered the leading producers of this product.
Black sesame seeds are flat, oval in shape and have a slightly nutty flavor with a sweet touch.

Interestingly, black sesame is also firmly entrenched in the culture and natural medicine of both countries. It is considered the spice of the gods themselves, which can enrich us with vitality and counteract numerous diseases.
