Description

White Sesame, or Desi Safed Til, is one of the oldest and most respected oilseeds in our traditional kitchens. Sourced directly from the hardworking farmers of Madhya Pradesh (MP), our white sesame is special because it is unhulled. Unlike the polished versions found in supermarkets, we keep the outer skin intact to ensure you get the maximum natural nutrients, fiber, and that authentic earthy aroma.

At Past In Present Agro, we bridge the gap between rural farms and your modern kitchen. These seeds are cleaned and packed without the use of any bleaching agents, chemicals, or synthetic preservatives. Whether you are making traditional winter sweets or adding a crunch to your daily meals, our Desi White Sesame brings the "Past" purity into your "Present" lifestyle. It’s small in size but a giant when it comes to flavor and tradition. 🌾✨

You Ask , We answer

Q.Where is this sesame sourced from?
A: Our Desi White Sesame is sourced directly from natural farms in Madhya Pradesh (MP), known for producing high-quality oilseeds.
Q.What does "unhulled" mean?
A: It means the outer skin of the seed is left intact. This is where most of the calcium and fiber are stored. Polished (hulled) sesame loses a lot of its nutrition.
Q.Is your sesame bleached?
A: No. Commercial white sesame is often bleached for a "pearl white" look. Ours is natural, unbleached, and chemical-free.
Q.Do I need to wash these seeds?
A: No, our seeds are cleaned and ready to use. However, you can lightly roast them to enhance their flavor and crunch
Q.Can I use these for oil extraction?
A: Yes, these are high-quality oilseeds and are excellent for making homemade sesame oil.
Q.Is it safe for daily consumption?
A: Absolutely! A small spoonful of sesame seeds daily is a great way to add minerals to your diet.
Q.Is this product gluten-free?
A: Yes, sesame seeds are naturally gluten-free and safe for those with gluten sensitivities.
Q.Why is the color not perfectly white?
A: Because it is unhulled and unbleached. Natural white sesame has a slightly off-white or creamish tint, which is a sign of purity.
Q.How do I roast them properly?
A: Dry roast them in a pan on medium heat for 3-5 minutes until they start to pop or release a nutty aroma.
