Descriptions
Sesame (Sesamum indicum) is a flowering plant in the genus Sesamum cultivated for its edible seeds. The exact origin of the species is unknown, although it is thought to have originated in Africa or the Middle East 4,000 years ago . It is now grown world-wide. It is an annual plant growing to 50-100 cm tall, with leaves (4-14 cm) on opposite sides; the leaves are broad (5 cm) at the base of the plant, but are progressively narrow to just 1 cm on the flowering stem. The flowers are white to purple, tubular, 3-5 cm long, with a four-lobed mouth. The word sesame comes from Latin sesamum. Sesame is grown primarily for its oil-rich seeds, which come in a variety of colors. Copyright Text is available under the Creative Commons Attribution/Share-Alike License.
