Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know before you sow.

How can you tell when sesame pods are approaching harvest?

The product page lists a 90–110 day harvest period. Allow pods to mature and dry sufficiently before collecting the seeds.

What do sesame flowers look like before pods form?

Sesame develops delicate bell-shaped flowers. After flowering, small pods form and contain the developing seeds.

Why should sesame pods be kept dry near harvest?

Drying helps the pods mature and makes seed collection easier. Avoid excess moisture while the crop approaches maturity.

Can white sesame be grown in a large container?
Yes. Large containers are listed as suitable. Provide full sun, loose well-drained soil and enough space for upright growth.

What is the difference between white sesame and black sesame?

The main visible difference is seed colour. This listing produces creamy white sesame seeds with a mild, sweet and nutty flavour.

Can harvested white sesame seeds be used for tahini?
Yes. The product page specifically lists tahini among the intended culinary uses of the harvested sesame seeds.
