Originating from the Sunda Islands in the Pacific, sesame is a herbaceous plant belonging to the Pedaliaceae family. It can
grow to a height of 1m and has simple opposed leaves and irregular flowers. Its fruit is a capsule with four loculi containing
a large number of black, red or white flat oval seeds, from which the oil is extracted.

the skin and prevents aging. In nutrition, it plays a role in preventing bad cholesterol and cardiovascular diseases, thanks to
the presence of lecithin.
