Sesame is one of the most ancient spices and continues to be one of the most widely used high-fat products today. It is very rich in vitamin E and iron and although it originates from Africa, it is also very common in India, where it is considered a symbol of immortality and good luck.
There are many varieties of sesame, but cultivated sesame is an annual plant that can reach a height of 200 cm. It has a hairy stem, green leaves and white, purple or pink flowers. It is not very difficult to grow, but the benefits of sesame are proven.
It is not very common in Bulgaria growing sesame seeds, but if you have a yard somewhere in the southern regions of the country, nothing prevents you from trying your gardening skills. And if you do well, you will then be able to unleash your culinary imagination.
Here how to grow sesame and what you can use it for:
- Sesame is very heat-loving and sprouts only when the air temperature reaches about 15 degrees. It lasts a relatively long time without water, but not without moisture;
- Plant sesame seeds in well-nourished loose soil to moisten regularly. As it grows, it is good to be able to provide it with an air temperature of 25-30 degrees. You can also grow it in a greenhouse;
- Water it regularly during its growth and during the growth of the boxes;
- When you see that the boxes begin to acquire a greenish-brown color, you can start harvesting the seeds;
- Once you have managed to get your homemade sesame, you can grind it and use it as tahini. It is in this way that its use is widespread in the Mediterranean;
- It is especially common in Asian cuisine white sesame. Roll chicken pieces or pork and even fish with it and fry in hot oil;
- You can even make sesame oil, which is not only very useful, but also works well for external use on dry skin or cracked hands. It is only good to preheat it slightly.
