summarize Natural Sesame Seed Product Overview
The available grade should be confirmed before quotation. Product specifications may differ according to crop origin, harvest condition, processing level, buyer requirements, and destination market.
What Are Natural Sesame Seeds?
Natural sesame seeds are sesame seeds that retain their outer seed coat. Unlike hulled sesame, the natural product does not undergo hull removal.
Natural sesame may still pass through several processing stages, including:
- check_circle Cleaning
- check_circle Destoning
- check_circle Separation
- check_circle Grading
- check_circle Optical sorting (where applicable)
- check_circle Final quality assessment
- check_circle Bulk packaging
Retaining the outer hull affects the seed’s appearance, texture, fibre content, processing behaviour, and suitability for different commercial applications.
Natural Sesame vs Hulled and Sortex Sesame
The correct product depends on the buyer’s application, processing requirements, visual expectations, quality limits, destination regulations, and target price.
| Feature | Natural sesame | Hulled sesame | Natural Sortex sesame |
|---|---|---|---|
| Outer seed coat | Retained | Removed | Retained |
| Main processing distinction | Cleaned and graded | Hulled after preparation | Optical colour sorting |
| Appearance | Natural seed appearance | Lighter, refined appearance | More visually consistent natural grade |
| Common uses | Oil extraction, processing, distribution | Tahini, bakery, confectionery | Visible food applications, premium natural grade |
| Main buyer concern | Purity, moisture, oil content | Hulling quality, colour, microbiology | Colour consistency, defective-seed removal |
| Relative processing | Lower than hulled | Higher due to hulling | Higher visual sorting than standard natural |

Important for oil mills, processors, and buyers concerned with extraction yield or flavour.
Seed Colour
Visual consistency may matter for food manufacturing, tahini, bakery, and visible applications.
Damaged Seeds
Damaged, broken, darkened, immature, or defective seeds affect appearance and storage.
Admixture
The presence of other seeds, varieties, or unwanted agricultural material.
Seed Size
Size and consistency may influence processing efficiency, roasting, and end-product performance.
Microbiological
Testing may be required for conditions according to the product and destination market.
Residues
Some markets require testing for pesticide residues, aflatoxins, or heavy metals.
Exact values should be confirmed for the specific grade, batch, crop, test method, and order.

How Natural Sesame Seeds Are Processed
Natural sesame retains its outer hull, but the product may still require several processing stages before it is suitable for commercial sale.

Cleaning
Separation
(Optional)
Control
Cleaning & Separation
Raw sesame contains agricultural impurities. Pre-cleaning removes large debris, while destoning removes heavy particles like stones and mud. Gravity separation removes light particles, hollow seeds, and fine dust.
Grading
The cleaned sesame passes through grading screens to separate the seeds by size, ensuring uniformity according to the requested specification and removing small or broken seeds.
Final Assessment
The final product is assessed for purity, moisture, and relevant quality parameters before packing. (Note: Optical colour sorting is an additional process applied specifically for Natural Sortex grades).
Commercial Packaging
Proper packaging is required to maintain product integrity, protect against moisture and contamination, and facilitate handling during export and storage.
PP Bags (Polypropylene)
Durable, woven bags suitable for standard export and wholesale. Commonly supplied in 25kg, 50kg, or customized weights.
Multi-wall Paper Bags
Provide improved protection and are often preferred by food manufacturers. Frequently used for 25kg quantities or premium grades.
Jumbo Bags (FIBC)
Large bulk bags (e.g., 1000kg) for industrial buyers with automated unloading facilities and large-scale processing.
