What is Sesame Seeds?
These seeds are also known as til in Hindi and tal in Gujarati. These tiny, flat seeds come from the sesamum indicum plant, one of the oldest oilseed plants. These seeds are cream to off-white, taste mildly nutty, and are slightly crunchy when eaten raw or toasted. When you dry-roast these seeds in a pan, they turn a little golden, and their natural oils release, giving off a warm, smoky fragrance. These seeds are a very rich plant-based source of calcium, iron, and magnesium. They are used equally at home in sweet dishes like laddoo and chikki, as well as in savory items like tadka, chutney, and vegetable toppings.
How Hathi Masala processes Sesame Seeds
These seeds are very tiny and contain stones, dust, and broken pieces of a similar size. These impurities can easily mix in during harvest and transport. Traditional cleaning machines built for usual larger spices can’t clean these tiny seeds properly. Hathi uses automatic fine-mesh cleaning machines designed specifically for tiny seeds. This machine removes fine impurities, such as stones, dust, and broken seeds, without any human contact at any stage. After the cleaning procedure, the seeds undergo grading to remove undersized or uneven seeds and pack only uniform, whole seeds. The seeds are then packed in 3-layer packaging to avoid moisture.

It is one of India's oldest seeds. They’ve been grown across states like Gujarat, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Andhra Pradesh, and Uttar Pradesh for ages. Gujarat is well known for producing clean, high-quality til seeds with a high natural oil content. That is why hathi masala sources its til seeds mainly from Gujarat and nearby regions.
The seeds sourced by Hathi are harvested at the right time and dried naturally. These seeds are carefully evaluated every batch; seeds with high moisture, low oil content, or faint aroma are rejected before processing.
