Sesame (simsim)
Sudan is among the world's great sesame growers — its toasted oil dresses ful, its paste sweetens, its seed crowns every bake.
History and culture
The rain-fed plains of Gedaref bloom white with sesame each autumn; the crop is a pillar of export and of the kitchen alike.
Culinary uses
Sesame oil for ful, tahniya sweets, bread topping.
