Frequently Asked Questions

India is the world's largest producer of sesame seeds, contributing over 50% of global production. Indian sesame seeds from Gujarat, Rajasthan, and Uttar Pradesh are known for their high oil content (44-58%), superior flavor, and excellent storage properties. The ideal agro-climatic conditions, traditional farming practices, and modern processing techniques ensure premium quality that meets international standards.
Natural sesame seeds have the outer seed coat (hull) intact, giving them a cream to light brown color and higher fiber content. Hulled sesame seeds have the outer coat mechanically removed, resulting in white to off-white color, extended shelf life, and better appearance for food applications. Hulled seeds are preferred for tahini production, bakery applications, and international trade due to their superior appearance and longer storage life.
Major export destinations include USA, China, European Union, Middle East (UAE, Saudi Arabia), Japan, South Korea, and Turkey. Each market has specific requirements: USA focuses on tahini production, Middle East on traditional foods, Asia on cuisine applications, and Europe on organic and food processing. We customize our offerings based on specific market requirements and quality standards.
We maintain strict quality control through multiple steps: sourcing from certified farmers, Sortex cleaning for purity, comprehensive laboratory testing for aflatoxins, pesticide residues, and microbiological parameters, pre-shipment inspection, and proper storage in climate-controlled facilities.
