SEEDED: Sesame

Sesame is one of the oldest cultivated plants in the world, but an industry that is emerging within the Australian agriculture landscape. The white and black sesame seeds you buy in the supermarket or those sprinkled on top of your hamburger buns and sushi rolls are almost certainly imported from developing countries in Asia and Africa. But with the global sesame market worth more than US $7 billion and demand continuing to escalate, an Australian sesame renaissance is beginning to gain momentum. SEEDED is a special six-episode series for AgriFutures on Air brought to you by the AgriFutures Emerging Industries team.
