Sesame White Shirogoma

Sesame ‘White Shirogoma’ is a traditional sesame variety grown for its small white seeds with a rich, nutty flavor. The plant itself is attractive, with upright growth and delicate flowers, making it both useful and pleasing in the home garden. It loves the sun and heat so make sure to plant it in spring time for it to enjoy the summer heat.

Seeds grow best in well-draining soil in a sunny location. Water regularly during early growth, then moderately once plants are established. As the seed pods mature and begin to dry, they can be harvested and opened to collect the seeds for kitchen use.
