Sesame Seeds
(Sesame Seeds) Sesame
seeds come from the seed pods of Sesamum indicum. They were used by the
Assyrians as far back as 1,600 - 3,000 B.C.E., depending on the reference
source. We use sesame seeds as an outer coating for some of our bread and roll
recipes, and as an ingredient in dips, dressings, and other recipes. See
the nutritional chart below. The actual size of the sesame seeds can be
seen in the photo to the left.

The above recipe is in keeping with God's creation intent (Genesis 1:29-31): 'Then God said, "I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food. And to all the beasts of the earth and all the birds of the air and all the creatures that move on the ground-- everything that has the breath of life in it-- I give every green plant for food." And it was so. God saw all that he had made, and it was very good.' (NIV) Let no animal suffer or die that we may live!
