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, which is a member of the Pedaliaceae family. Sesame is one of the oldest oil crops, domesticated over 3,000 years ago, and is mostly produced in North Africa and central Asia. It’s a short-day crop that grows best in warm temperatures and can tolerate drought conditions.
