Dry-zone Sri Lankan sesame (thala), natural, hulled and black, cleaned and sorted for food and oil buyers.

Sesame (thala in Sinhala, ellu in Tamil) is a traditional dry-zone crop in Sri Lanka, grown by smallholders in the Anuradhapura, Polonnaruwa, Moneragala and Hambantota districts in the Yala season. Sri Lanka is a small exporter by world standards, so its sesame suits buyers who want Sri Lankan origin, smaller lots, or sesame in the same container as their spices, tea and coconut products.

#### Grades we supply

- Natural (unhulled) sesame: cleaned and sorted, for oil pressing, bakery and roasting
- White hulled sesame: mechanically hulled, for bakery toppings, tahini and confectionery
- Black sesame: for Asian food, confectionery and specialty retail

#### Typical specification

Purity 99% to 99.95% depending on grade, moisture under about 6%, free fatty acid and oil content on request. Each lot can be tested for Salmonella, aflatoxin and pesticide residues to your market’s limits before shipping, and we keep a sealed sample from the lot.

#### Packing and shipping

25 kg or 50 kg PP or paper bags, or retail packs under your label. A 20 ft container holds about 18 to 19 tonnes. Sesame can share a container with other Sri Lankan products through our [mixed-load service](/mixed-container-sri-lanka/).

#### Import paperwork

Sesame is a plant product, so most markets ask for a phytosanitary certificate from Sri Lanka’s National Plant Quarantine Service. The EU checks sesame for ethylene oxide and Salmonella, so tell us your destination and we test to its rules.
