Sesame is a flowering plant that grows wild, in small quantities, in India and which has been domesticated a long time ago. It is mainly grown in India, where it is called Til (Hindi), for its seeds that are inside a pod.
In India, sesame is used extensively as an oil, which has long been preferred to the peanut oil, but its seeds are used whole in Indian cooking. They come in several colors, from white sesame to black sesame.

How to use the black sesame seeds

Black sesame seeds are mixed with white sesame seeds to prepare Ladoos (Pil ke ladoo), for example. It is a seed that is also used in religious rituals in India.
