Sesame has been grown for ages, so much that we cannot find its wild ancestor anymore.
Archaeological digs did however find that sesame seeds and oil were part of the Chinese Pharmacopoeia 5,000 years ago, and of the Indian one, 7,500 years ago.
Black sesame seeds are rich in iron, magnesium, manganese, copper, and calcium. They are also full of antioxidants. Black sesame is much less common than white sesame, so please sow it and save some seeds! You'll still be able to eat most of them... toasted in a skillet, delicious!

Camelina, also known under many other names such as gold-of-pleasure or false flax, was once grown to feed both humans and animals in Europe. This herbaceous annual has actually been used to produce fodder and oil for over 3000 years. It can also be used as green manure.
More and more, camelina is regaining popularity for various reasons. The oil produced from its seeds is rich in omega-3, making it a favorite in health stores. Its yellow flowers are great for pollinators. Its strong taproot is very helpful for working compacted soils.
On top of it all, you can use it to make a biodegradable broom!
