Sesamum angolense
syn: Sesamum macranthum
Description
Sesamum angolense is an annual plant known for its oil-rich seeds. This plant features tall, erect stems and produces attractive, tubular flowers, often in shades of pink or white. The flowers are followed by seed pods, which contain the valuable sesame seeds. Sesamum angolense thrives in warm climates and requires full sun and well-draining soil. It is relatively drought-tolerant once established, making it well-suited to arid regions. It's important to harvest the seed pods before they fully mature to prevent the seeds from scattering. The seeds are used for various culinary purposes. They are a good source of oil, protein, and other nutrients. They are relatively easy to grow and can be a great addition to a garden. These seeds are a great source of calcium and are often used in traditional medicine.
