Introduction
Sesame seeds, known as “Til” in Hindi, are tiny, oval seeds with a rich history dating back thousands of years. Celebrated for their nutty flavor, crunch, and remarkable nutritional profile, sesame seeds are a staple in various global cuisines. At Vishwarupa Global Trades Vision Private Limited, we offer the finest quality sesame seeds, sourced from the best farms in India to ensure their purity, taste, and health benefits are delivered to your kitchen.
Origin and Cultivation
Our sesame seeds are primarily sourced from the fertile regions of Gujarat, Rajasthan, and Uttar Pradesh, where the sesame plant (Sesamum indicum) thrives in the warm climate. The seeds are harvested when the pods of the plant mature and split open, revealing the small, oil-rich seeds. After harvesting, the seeds are carefully cleaned and processed to meet the highest standards of quality and safety.
Flavor Profile
Sesame seeds have a rich, nutty flavor that becomes more pronounced when the seeds are toasted. Their mild sweetness and crunchy texture make them a versatile ingredient in both sweet and savory dishes. Available in different varieties, including white, black, and brown, each type of sesame seed offers a slightly different taste and texture, making them a favorite among chefs and home cooks alike.
