About White Sesame Seeds
Pakistan exports approximately 250,000-350,000 MT of sesame seeds annually, with white sesame being the highest-value variety for food applications. Kohenoor International ships premium Sortex-cleaned white sesame seeds at 99.98% purity to EU bakery industry buyers, Chinese tahini and oil processors, Korean chefs, Middle Eastern halva producers, and Japanese specialty food markets.
Our white sesame seeds are sourced from Sindh and South Punjab — the prime sesame-growing regions of Pakistan — and processed through multi-stage Sortex color-sorting machines to deliver food-grade purity that meets EU Regulation (EU) 2019/1793 and JECFA aflatoxin standards.
