Product Overview

Upper Egypt Natural Sesame

Egyptian natural (unhulled) sesame seeds (Sesamum indicum L.) from Upper Egypt retain their intact seed coat, preserving the full complement of dietary fiber, calcium, and antioxidant lignans (sesamin and sesamolin) that make sesame a nutritional powerhouse. The Upper Egyptian growing belt produces sesame with high oil content, uniform golden-brown color, and the characteristic nutty aroma that oil pressers and whole-food manufacturers demand.

HS Herbs supplies natural sesame seeds that are mechanically cleaned, aspirated, de-stoned, and gravity-sorted to achieve high purity with minimal broken seeds. We offer multiple varieties including golden, brown, and mixed natural grades. Each lot is tested for oil content, moisture, FFA, and complete microbiology.

Applications include sesame oil pressing, whole-grain bakery toppings, health food products, granola and energy bar formulations, Asian cuisine, and tahini production (for dark tahini). HS Herbs exports natural sesame to oil mills, bakeries, and health food manufacturers worldwide.
