Organic Sesame Seeds (তিল)

Our Organic Sesame Seeds (তিল) are harvested from certified organic farms where sesame plants grow naturally in the warm, dry conditions of Bangladesh's northwestern plains without any synthetic pesticide application. Sesame seeds are among the oldest oilseed crops cultivated by humanity, prized across 5,000 years of culinary and medicinal tradition. Nutritionally, they pack an exceptional density of calcium (250mg per 100g — comparable to dairy), iron, zinc, magnesium, phosphorus, vitamin B1, and the unique lignans sesamin and sesamolin that have powerful antioxidant and anti-estrogen activity. The natural fat profile of sesame oil — locked within each tiny seed — is exceptionally stable against oxidative rancidity, making sesame seeds ideal for long storage. In Bangladeshi cooking, sesame seeds are dry-roasted and used in tilor bhorta, added to laddu and pitha, sprinkled on salads, or blended into creamy sesame-based sauces. Light, nutty, and nutritionally extraordinary. A tiny seed of tremendous value.
