Sesame Seeds · ARPRIC brand
Indian natural sesame seeds with a mild nutty flavour, high purity and versatile food applications.
Product details
Natural sesame seeds are one of the widely used forms of Sesamum indicum. Unlike hulled sesame seeds, natural sesame seeds retain their outer hull.
The product is sourced from sesame-growing regions in India, including Gujarat, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh. Depending on the required grade, the seeds can undergo machine cleaning and Sortex processing to improve purity and colour consistency.
Their naturally high oil content makes them suitable for sesame oil processing, while their nutty flavour and versatile texture support applications in tahini, bakery products, confectionery, cereals, spice blends and other food preparations.
