Sesame Seeds

Blue Nile Trading Company takes pride in the trade of Ethiopian Sesame seeds because it is at number one position amongst the oil crops in the sub Saharan Africa; it is among the highest quality in the whole world! This is because of its high adaptation to the low lands of the semi-arid and arid areas. The output per acre is considerably higher compared to other crops in Ethiopia and we export the Sesame produce in whole, raw form. The higher output ensures constant supply to our customers! The Ethiopia sesame is found to be in its own class in terms of quality, production and popularity in the world market.

Qualities of Ethiopian sesame

Blue Nile Trading Company deals exclusively with the high quality Humera sesame seed variety. It has great characteristics which include nutty sweet flavor, large size, great aroma and taste. The oil produced is odorless and the roasted sesame seed has the ability to resist rancidity because of the antioxidant property achieved after roasting.  Apart from oil production, the clear white sesame may be used in the confectionery, biscuit and bakery industry.

Blue Nile Trading Company trades in the highest quality Whitish Humera Type of Sesame seeds. This is the variety with a white or ashen colored seed coat and is the one used for grading especially in the international market. It is one of the highest qualities with very high demand in the market. The oil content is between 54% and 56%.
