Black Sesame
3,78 $
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!
