Dhatu Organics Organic White Sesame 100g delivers certified organic Sesamum indicum seeds — one of humanity’s oldest cultivated oilseeds, prized for millennia from the Indian subcontinent to the Middle East. These hulled white sesame seeds are versatile across cuisines: a garnish on bread, a base for tahini, a key ingredient in chikki and laddoo, and the signature flavour of til rice.
Exceptional Calcium for a Plant Food: White sesame seeds contain 975 mg calcium per 100g — nearly as much as hard cheese and far more than most plant sources. A tablespoon of sesame seeds (9g) provides approximately 88 mg of calcium. For dairy-free diets, sesame is one of the most calcium-dense foods available. Combine with vitamin D sources for optimal absorption.

Key Benefits
- Calcium Powerhouse: 975 mg calcium per 100g — among the richest plant sources of calcium, crucial for bone density, muscle contraction, and nerve signalling. Especially important for vegan and dairy-free diets.[1]
- Heart-Healthy Fats: Sesame oil profile is rich in oleic acid (monounsaturated) and linoleic acid (polyunsaturated omega-6), both associated with cardiovascular health when substituted for saturated fats.[2]
- Sesamin and Sesamolin: Unique lignans present in sesame with antioxidant properties and potential to modulate cholesterol metabolism.[2]
- High-Quality Plant Protein: 17.7g protein per 100g, with a favourable amino acid profile including methionine, making sesame a valuable protein complement for legume-based diets.
- Magnesium and Iron: Excellent sources of both minerals, supporting energy metabolism, haemoglobin production, and nervous system function.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between white and black sesame?
White sesame seeds are hulled (outer husk removed), giving them a milder, nuttier flavour and slightly lower fibre content than unhulled black sesame. Black sesame seeds are unhulled and have a more intense, slightly bitter flavour with more antioxidant compounds in the husk. White sesame is more versatile for cooking and baking; black sesame is often used in Asian sweets and for its stronger flavour.
How do I toast sesame seeds at home?
Dry-toast in a flat pan over medium heat, stirring constantly. They go from pale to golden in 2–3 minutes and burn quickly — watch closely. Remove from heat immediately once golden and fragrant. Cool completely before storing. Toasted sesame has significantly more aroma and flavour than raw.
Are sesame seeds safe for people with nut allergies?
Sesame is a seed, not a tree nut — but it is a significant allergen in its own right. Sesame allergy (sesame hypersensitivity) is one of the top 9 food allergens in several countries. If you have nut allergies or any food allergy history, test cautiously and consult your allergist before consuming regularly.
How should I store sesame seeds?
Raw sesame seeds can go rancid relatively quickly due to their high unsaturated fat content. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 6–12 months or the freezer for up to 1 year. At room temperature in a cool cupboard, use within 3–4 months. Toasted sesame goes rancid faster — use within 2 months.
Is organic sesame different from conventional?
Organic sesame is grown without synthetic pesticides. Since sesame oil is extracted cold-pressed and concentrates whatever is in the seed, pesticide residue in conventional sesame can be more of a concern than in some other spices. Organic certification also ensures no fumigation post-harvest, common for conventional imported sesame.
