Sesame
The sesame (or to be precise, Sesamum indicum), is our 5th – and therefore smallest – commodity as far as volume. We can provide both edible, organic and feed market with this commodity.
Sesame seeds are gluten-free and full of minerals, antioxidants and good acids. They are also a good source of copper, calcium, iron, zinc, vitamin B and fiber. All of this can create a positive effect on one’s cholesterol and blood pressure.

Nevertheless, the base is to be as per European regulations so each batch is according to these standards (pesticide, salmonella, ethylene oxide, etc.). If any additional requirements are needed, we are always open to discuss this.
