Sesame seeds in history:
Sesamum indicum L. (fam. Pedaliaceae) is a plant native to the tropics, in fact the term indicum was used to highlight its origins in India.
Sesame, thanks to its properties, is among the oldest known condiments. Already 5000 years ago it was cultivated in India because it was essential not only for human nutrition (ground and mixed in foods) but also for its use as fuel for lamps and for its medicinal, religious and cosmetic uses. The Indians themselves attribute the origin of sesame to a gift granted by the deities, according to Indian literature, sesame seeds would have been born from the drops of sweat of Vishnu.
If we say Sesame, we immediately think of the famous magic formula "Open Sesame" that Ali Baba said to allow the opening of the rock of a cave where the treasures were hidden; in the same way the opening of the Sesame fruit contains seeds rich in nutritional and beneficial properties that give strength and vitality to man.
The importance of sesame in Indian culture is reported not only in Ayurvedic Medicine as it stimulates digestion and cures diseases of the genitourinary system such as dysmenorrhea and hemorrhoids, but also in the sacred Buddhist texts in fact it is considered one of the superior foods (widely used in the diet of monks) and the Buddha remembered that "the sesame seed, despite being very small, could generate a large tree".
The nutritional and medicinal value of this "little treasure" was also appreciated by the Egyptians to the point of including it in the Ebers papyrus (ca. 1550 BC) with the term semsent among the remedies against headaches and hemorrhages. It was only in the 1st century AD that in Italy, and specifically in Sicily, they began to sprinkle its seeds on bread. Today its use as a condiment, in Africa and in Mediterranean countries, is highly appreciated especially together with raw honey, with which sesame cakes are prepared.
Due to its high fat content, sesame tends to go rancid easily, therefore it is always advisable to consume it after having ground it at the moment.
