Sesame (Sesamum indicum L) otherwise known as sesamum or benniseed, is an annual plant which is cultivated for its seeds, grows in pods and one of the oldest cultivated oilseed in the world. Nigeria is the second largest producer of the crop in Africa. Most of the sesame seeds are used for oil extraction and the rest are used for edible purposes. Sesame is grown primarily for its oil-rich seeds. Before seeds were appreciated for their ability to add nutty flavour or garnish foods, they were primarily used for oil and wine. After the extraction of oil, the cake is mostly used for livestock feed or often as manure. Its colour varies from cream-white to charcoal-black but it is mainly white or black. Other colours of some sesame seed varieties include, yellow, red or brown. In Nigeria, the notable colours for sesame seed are white, yellow and black. There are two types of sesame seeds grown in Nigeria; the white coloured seeds grown mostly in Benue, Nassarawa, Taraba and Kogi states of North Central states of Nigeria and the golden brown coloured seeds grown in Kano, Jigawa, Katsina states of far northern states of Nigeria.
