What are Sesame Seeds (سفید تل / Safed Til)?

Sesame seeds, known as Safed Til (سفید تل) or simply Til in Urdu, are the tiny, oil‑rich seeds of the Sesamum indicum plant, one of the oldest oilseed crops known to humanity. Native to Africa and Asia, sesame has been cultivated for over 5,000 years. These cream‑coloured, tear‑shaped seeds have a mild, nutty flavour that intensifies when roasted.

Nutritional profile per 100g of whole sesame seeds: approximately 563 kcal, 18.3g protein, 16.8g dietary fibre, 50g fat (healthy unsaturated fats), and exceptional mineral content: calcium (1,450mg – 145% DV), iron (9.3mg – 52% DV), magnesium (350mg – 88% DV), phosphorus (629mg – 63% DV), zinc (12.2mg – 81% DV), and copper (4.1mg – 205% DV). They are also rich in B‑vitamins (thiamine, niacin, B6) and powerful lignans – sesamin and sesamolin – which have antioxidant, anti‑inflammatory, and cholesterol‑lowering properties.

In Pakistan, sesame is a treasured ingredient in winter dishes (til ke laddoo, gajak), everyday breads (roti, naan), and traditional wellness remedies (til ka doodh for energy and bone strength). Pakistan is among the world's top sesame producers, with major cultivation in Punjab, Sindh, and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.

A Seed With Ancient Roots – Over 5,000 Years of Cultivation

Sesame seeds have a rich and fascinating history that spans over 5,000 years. Archaeological evidence shows that sesame was cultivated in the Indus Valley Civilisation, with charred seeds discovered at the ancient site of Harappa (in present‑day Pakistan) dating back to approximately 2000 BC. This makes sesame one of the oldest cultivated crops in South Asia.

The seeds were highly prized by ancient Egyptians, who ground them into flour and used sesame oil in medicine and cosmetics. In ancient China, sesame oil was used to produce soot for the finest ink blocks for centuries. In Ayurveda, sesame is considered a rasayana (rejuvenative) that nourishes the bones, teeth, and nervous system. It is used in oil pulling (gandusha) for oral health, in massage oils (abhyanga) for joint pain, and as a warming food in winter. In Greco‑Roman medicine, sesame was valued as a digestive aid and a remedy for fatigue.

Today, Sudan is the world's largest producer (1.37 million tonnes), followed by India, Myanmar, China, Nigeria, and Pakistan (0.30 million tonnes). The sesame seeds from the Indus Valley region are prized for their high oil content and nutty flavour. Spices.pk is proud to bring this ancient, heritage seed to your table in its purest, most authentic organic form.
