Discover the authentic taste and nutritional richness of our Unpolished Sesame Seeds, a cornerstone of Indian culinary and Ayurvedic tradition. Sourced directly from the fertile fields of Maharashtra, these whole, raw seeds retain their natural hull and all the goodness nature intended—delivering a subtle earthiness and delicate nuttiness that elevates every dish.
What is Sesame Seeds Unpolished?
Sesame seeds, known as Til in Hindi and regional Indian languages, come from the Sesamum indicum plant. Our unpolished variety preserves the outer hull, which is rich in minerals and fibre. Unlike polished white sesame seeds, unpolished seeds retain their natural tan-to-brown colour and robust nutritional profile. Grown in India’s premier sesame-producing regions, these seeds are harvested at peak ripeness, dried naturally, and processed without any chemical refinement.

A: Yes. Our unpolished sesame seeds are 100% plant-based, naturally vegan, and free from gluten and common allergens. Ideal for all dietary preferences.
Q: What is the difference between unpolished and polished sesame seeds?
