Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is the difference between Natural and Hulled Sesame?
Answer: Natural Sesame Seeds are off-white/creamy and have the thin outer skin intact. They have a stronger flavor and are used for oil pressing. Hulled Sesame Seeds have the skin mechanically removed, resulting in a bright pearl-white color and a sweeter, softer taste ideal for bakery and Tahini.
2. Are your seeds Sun-Dried or Auto-Dried?
Answer: For export, we primarily supply Auto-Dried seeds. This mechanical drying process kills bacteria and ensures strict moisture control, preventing mold during ocean transit. Sun-dried options are available upon request for lower-cost applications.
3. Is this suitable for making Tahini?
Answer: Yes. Our Hulled Sesame (Auto-Dried) is specifically graded for Tahini manufacturers. It has high oil content (>50%) and no bitter skin, ensuring a smooth, sweet paste.
4. What is the purity level?
Answer: We offer 99.95% purity, achieved through multi-stage Sortex cleaning. This level is mandatory for high-end bakeries (like burger chains) that have zero tolerance for stones or stalks.
5. Do you test for Salmonella?
Answer: Yes. Microbiological safety is our priority. Every export lot is tested for Salmonella and E. Coli to meet EU and FDA food safety standards.
