It grows widely throughout the Orient and in India and is prized as both a condiment and for its oil. Used in many cultures, Sesame Seeds were used by the Babylonians for Sesame cakes, wine, and brandy as well as for cooking oil and toiletries. The Egyptians used Sesame Seeds for medicinal purposes as early as 1500 B.C. Sesame Seeds were brought to America by the African Slaves who referred to the seed as the Benne Seed.
