A crop that ripens from the bottom up.
Sesame grows across eleven northern and middle‑belt states — Nasarawa, Benue, Jigawa, Kano, Plateau and their neighbours. The capsules fill from the base of the stalk upward, which is why timing the cut matters so much.
Dried upright so the seed stays clean.
Stalks are cut and stood together in stooks to finish drying on their feet. When the capsules split, the bundles are shaken over sheets — the seed never touches the ground, which is half of why Nigerian sesame runs so clean.
Machine‑cleaned, de‑stoned, bagged.
At the facility the seed passes a rotary cleaner and a de‑stoner that lift dust, stalk and stones away. What is left is bagged at 98 – 99.5 % purity in 50 kg PP bags, lot‑numbered like everything else we ship.
Tested the way crushers buy.
Oil content, free fatty acid, moisture and admixture are measured before the offer goes out — the numbers a crusher, a tahini maker or a bakery supplier will each check on arrival.
- Oil 48 – 52 % (min 45 %)
- FFA ≤ 2 % · moisture ≤ 6 – 8 %
- Purity 98 – 99.5 %
Filled to 50 kg, weighed, stitched.
Cleaned seed is filled into 50 kg PP bags on a platform scale — 25 kg where your packing line prefers it — then stitched and marked with the lot number.
Counted in, sealed under supervision.
Bags are stuffed and tallied under supervision, with lining and desiccants where the route calls for them. The container is sealed and photographed the same day.
