Sesame is a flowering plant in the
genus Sesamum. Numerous wild
relatives occur in Africa and a
smaller number in India. It is
widely naturalized in tropical
regions around the world and is
cultivated for its edible seeds, which grow in pods. Sesame seed is considered to be
the oldest oilseed crop known to
man, domesticated well over
5000 years ago. Sesame is very
drought-tolerant. It has been
called a survivor crop, with an
ability to grow where most crops
fail. Sesame has one of the highest oil
contents of any seed. With a rich
nutty flavor, it is a common
ingredient in cuisines across the
world. Sesame, like other nuts and
foods, can trigger allergic
reactions in some people. The world harvested about 3.84
million metric tonnes of sesame
seeds in 2010. The largest
producer of sesame seeds in 2010
was Burma. The world's largest
exporter of sesame seeds was
India, and Japan the largest
importer.
