Sesame seeds Originate when the seed harvesters round up all the members from the pool and @forumz and turn them upside down and shake the seeds from where their brain cavity should be. Its very interesting to watch, immediately after the harvesting is done the members proceed to crawl up eachothers asses untill next harvest season....its a thrilling sight

Sesame Seeds

These seeds are probably the most commonly used worldwide, especially in the Middle East, where the sesame foods tahini and halva originated. These foods and other sesame products are used now in many countries. In the United States, sesame seeds are often used in breads or on bread crusts; as tahini or sesame butter to spread on bread or crackers or used in sauces; as halva candy; and as a roasted, blended sesame salt called gomasio, which originated in Japan. Sesame seeds can be eaten raw, dried, or roasted or cooked with all kinds of foods. They are also great to add to other foods, such as grains and legumes, because they provide additional amino acids that may be low in those foods. Sesame can also be used with many seasonings, with other nuts or seeds, such as almonds or sunflower seeds, or blended with seasoning seeds such as caraway, poppy, dill, or anise and used over various food dishes. Black sesame seeds, also very nourishing, can also be used in these seasonings.

Sesame seeds come from little seed pods of one of the oldest of cultivated plants. In the Middle East, they are still called the "seed of immortality". The seeds are rich in oil, over 55 percent. Sesame oil is a very useful and common oil, especially in Oriental culture, where toasted and even hot-spiced sesame oil is used in cooking. Sesame seeds are also about 20 percent protein and contain some vitamins A and E and most of the B vitamins except B12 and folic acid. Minerals, however, are very abundant in sesame, as in most seeds. Zinc is high, as are calcium, copper, magnesium, phosphorus, and potassium. Sesame seeds are an excellent source of calcium for those avoiding cow's milk. However, the phosphorus content is much higher, as is true of most seeds, thus making it not quite as good for bone support. Iron is fairly high and sodium is fairly low, unless, of course, they are salted. Sesame seeds may also have a mild antioxidant effect, possibly because of their vitamin E content or some other factors.
