Product Overview
Egyptian hulled sesame seeds (Sesamum indicum L.) from Upper Egypt are among the finest white sesame grades available globally. Egypt's hot, dry climate and sandy loam soils produce sesame with high oil content (48–55%), uniform seed size, and the bright white color achieved after mechanical hulling — qualities that make Egyptian sesame the preferred choice for tahini production, bakery toppings, and confectionery applications.
HS Herbs supplies mechanically hulled sesame seeds that are washed, dried, and color-sorted to achieve 99%+ purity and consistent bright white appearance. Our hulled sesame meets the specifications of leading tahini manufacturers, bakery chains, and confectionery companies. Each lot is tested for oil content, moisture, free fatty acids (FFA), peroxide value, and complete microbiology.
Applications include tahini and hummus production, burger bun and bakery toppings, halva and confectionery, sushi seasoning (goma), energy bars, and sesame oil pressing. HS Herbs exports hulled sesame to food processors and bakery ingredient suppliers across Europe, North America, Japan, and the Middle East.
