Sesame is an ancient crop, native to India and Africa. It’s a hardy plant that thrives in hot, dry climates and grows up to 6 feet tall.

The sesame plant produces bell-shaped flowers in white, pink, or purple. These flowers lead to seed pods filled with nutritious sesame seeds

Sesame seeds are packed with healthy fats, fiber, and essential minerals. They add a nutty flavor and are great for heart and bone health

To grow sesame at home, start seeds indoors, and plant them in well-draining soil. Keep the soil moist, but avoid overwatering, as this can harm the plants.

Harvest sesame seeds when the pods start to open in late summer. Dry and store them properly to preserve their flavor and nutritional value.
