Farmers grow oilseed crops for the oil in their seeds. People use these oils for cooking, industrial processes, and biodiesel production. The oils from oilseeds provide a good source of polyunsaturated fats, which researchers have linked to heart health.
About Seeds
Sesame seeds are the edible seeds of the sesame plant, Sesamum indicum. The sesame plant is a short-day crop that grows best in warm temperatures and is mostly produced in central Asia and North Africa. It contains chemicals that may help reduce swelling, increase wound healing, and slow the absorption of sugar from food. Sesame seeds are rich in protein, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. They also contain lignans, which have strong antioxidant activity.
