Sesame Seeds (Till) (سفید تل)

White sesame seeds, safed til, have been part of South Asian cooking for centuries — in gajak and rewri in winter, on naan and biscuits year round, and ground into tahini and chutneys. Beyond the flavour, sesame is one of the few plant foods that provides a meaningful amount of calcium, alongside iron, magnesium and the antioxidant compounds sesamin and sesamolin. Our seeds are cleaned and unhulled, with nothing added.

Key Benefits

• One of the better plant sources of calcium
• Provides iron, magnesium, zinc and plant protein
• Contains the natural antioxidants sesamin and sesamolin
• Traditionally eaten in winter for warmth and energy
• Cleaned and untreated — no oil, salt or polish

How to Use

Dry-roast lightly on a low flame until fragrant, then sprinkle over salads, sabzi, rice or naan. Grind into chutney or tahini, or mix with gur for a traditional winter sweet. One to two tablespoons a day is a normal amount.

Why Buy From Chitrali Naturals

• Lab tested for purity — no fillers, no artificial colour, no added sugar

Storage

Store in an airtight jar in a cool, dry place. Sesame is high in natural oil, so keeping it sealed and away from heat prevents it turning rancid.
