Product Description & Reviews
Natural Unhulled Sesame seeds Unhulled ( Sesamun indicum ) may be the oldest condiment known to man dating back to as early as 1600 BC. The addition of sesame seeds to baked goods can be traced back to ancient Egyptian times from an ancient tomb painting that depicts a baker adding the seeds to bread dough. Sesame seeds were brought to the United States from Africa during the late 17th century. Natural unhulled Sesame seeds have been grown in tropical regions throughout the world since prehistoric times. Sesame seeds are tiny, flat oval seeds with a nutty taste and a delicate, almost invisible crunch. They come in a host of different colors, depending upon the variety, including white, yellow, black and red. Natural Unhulled Sesame seeds were one of the first crops to be processed for oil as well as one of the earliest condiments. They are highly valued for their oil which is exceptionally resistant to rancidity. Natural Unhulled Sesame seeds are a very good source of the minerals copper and manganese. They are also a good source of magnesium, calcium, iron, phosphorus, vitamin B1 and zinc. In addition, sesame seeds are a good source of both dietary fiber and monounsaturated fats. Sesame seeds have the highest total phytosterol content. Natural Unhulled sesame seeds can be stored in an airtight container in a cool, dry, dark place, or refrigerator in warmer weather. In 1942 a group of like-minded people gathered on a farm in Western New York and founded the Shiloh Community. Their common goal was to live and work together in health and harmony. To help support themselves and sustain their lifestyle they created a bakery and became known for their hearty, healthy all-natural products. Organic certification had not yet been invented. This was the beginning of SHILOH FARMS.
