Premium White Sesame Seeds — Hulled & Natural | India Exporter

iGreen International stands as a premier white sesame seeds exporter from India, supplying food-grade and oil-grade sesame to buyers across six continents. India ranks among the top three global sesame producers, with Gujarat and Rajasthan forming the heartland of white sesame cultivation — regions where the semi-arid climate, sandy loam soils, and generations of farming knowledge combine to produce seeds with exceptional oil content exceeding 48% and a clean, nutty flavor profile sought after by international food processors.

As a hulled sesame supplier with vertically integrated processing capabilities, we offer both natural (unhulled) and hulled white sesame seeds across multiple purity grades. Our flagship 99.99% purity hulled sesame is specifically processed for the tahini and halvah industries, where even minor impurities affect product quality and taste. The 99.95% grade serves bakery and confectionery applications, while our 99/1 natural sesame is preferred by oil mills and traditional food manufacturers.

Our sesame processing facility in Gujarat is equipped with advanced Japanese-origin gravity separators, optical color sorters, and de-stoning machines that handle over 100 MT of raw sesame per day. The hulling process uses a gentle mechanical technique that removes the outer seed coat without damaging the delicate kernel, preserving both nutritional value and the characteristic white appearance. Post-hulling, seeds undergo multiple rounds of washing, drying, and electronic sorting to achieve the specified purity levels.

Gujarat's sesame harvest occurs primarily between October and December, while Rajasthan contributes an additional crop cycle. This dual-origin sourcing strategy allows iGreen International to maintain year-round supply consistency — a critical factor for industrial buyers who require uninterrupted raw material availability. We maintain strategic buffer stocks in temperature-controlled warehouses near Mundra port, enabling rapid dispatch within 7-10 days of order confirmation.

The global tahini market alone exceeds $1.5 billion annually, and Indian white sesame has gained significant market share due to its competitive pricing and quality consistency compared to African and Central American origins. iGreen International serves tahini producers in the Middle East, Europe, and North America with dedicated quality parameters including specific color values (L* above 60 for hulled), low FFA (below 2%), and microbiological compliance with EU regulations.

Beyond tahini, our white sesame seeds wholesale supply caters to diverse industries including bakery chains requiring sesame for burger buns and bread toppings, cosmetic manufacturers using cold-pressed sesame oil as a carrier oil, Ayurvedic medicine companies, and snack food producers. We provide complete documentation support, competitive FOB/CIF pricing, and flexible payment terms for established buyers. Our export team handles all compliance requirements including EU Novel Food regulations, Japanese positive list standards, and USFDA FSVP documentation.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between hulled and natural sesame seeds?

Natural (unhulled) sesame seeds retain their outer seed coat and have a slightly darker appearance with a more pronounced nutty flavor. Hulled sesame seeds have the outer coat mechanically removed, resulting in a pure white appearance, softer texture, and milder flavor. Hulled sesame is preferred for tahini, bakery toppings, and applications where appearance and smooth texture matter. Natural sesame is often preferred for oil extraction and traditional cooking.

What purity grades do you offer for white sesame?

We offer three main purity grades: 99/1 (99% purity with up to 1% admixture — suitable for oil mills and general food processing), 99.95% (premium grade for bakery and confectionery), and 99.99% (ultra-premium for tahini and direct consumption products). Each grade undergoes specific processing steps including additional rounds of color sorting and hand-picking to achieve the target purity level.

Can you supply organic certified white sesame seeds?

Yes, we offer organic certified white sesame seeds with valid certifications from accredited bodies. Our organic sesame is sourced from dedicated organic farming clusters in Rajasthan and processed on segregated lines to prevent cross-contamination. We can provide USDA NOP, EU Organic, India Organic (NPOP), and JAS (Japan Agricultural Standards) certified sesame upon request.

What is the shelf life of your white sesame seeds?

Our white sesame seeds have a shelf life of 12 months when stored properly in cool, dry conditions below 25 degrees Celsius. Hulled sesame should be stored away from direct sunlight to prevent oxidation. We package in moisture-barrier PP bags and can provide vacuum packaging or nitrogen-flushed packs for buyers requiring extended shelf life. Proper storage in climate-controlled warehouses can extend usability beyond the stated shelf life.

What are your pricing terms for bulk sesame orders?

We offer competitive pricing on FOB Mundra/JNPT basis, with CIF and CFR options available for all major destination ports. Pricing depends on the grade (99/1, 99.95, or 99.99), type (hulled vs natural), quantity, and prevailing market conditions. We provide firm price offers valid for 3-5 days and can structure long-term contracts with monthly price adjustment mechanisms for regular buyers requiring supply security.
