Sesame seed is a rich source of edible oil. Its oil content generally varies from 46 to 52 percent. Its grains may be eaten fried, mixed with sugar or in the form of sweetmeats.
The oil remains liquid even at 4° C, making it a suitable salad oil in cold countries.
Sesamum-cake is a rich source of protein, carbohydrates and mineral nutrients, such as calcium and phosphorus.
Sesame grows in the plains and at elevations up to 1,200 m. It cannot stand frost, continuous heavy rain or prolonged drought. It is grown in sandy-loam to heavy black soils. Most of the crop is confined to lighter soils and its cultivation in heavy soils is limited to certain regions.

In India, Madhya Pradesh leads in yield and acreage, followed by Uttar Pradesh and Maharashtra, Bihar, Rajasthan, Orissa, Karnataka, Assam and West Bengal. The other linseed growing states are Jammu & Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh and Punjab where it is grown in a very small area. |
