Before 600 B.C. wealthy Assyrians were using sesame oil as a food, as a salve and as a medication. In the 1930’s Sesame oil was introduced into the United States although production has been limited because of the lack of cultivars that can be harvested mechanically. Most of the U.S. imports of sesame seed and sesame oil come primarily from South America.

Plant / Oil Description: The Sesame plant is an erect annual that grows to a height of 20-60 inches which is dependent on the environment and the variety grown.

The flowers of the Sesame are bell shaped and develop in the leaf axils 6-8 weeks after planting. This flowering continues for many weeks. They are white to pale rose in color.
