Processing

• The seeds are processed out from raw sesame. The
  capsule outside the sesame seeds protects it from
  damage and it only burst when the seed is
  completely mature. This is known as dehiscence.
  
• The period of dehiscence vary from variety to
  variety, so farmers cut the plants by hand and
  place them all together in an erect position to
  continue ripening until all the capsules open
  themselves.
• Since the seeds are small and flat, it gets
  difficult to dry them after harvest, so, the
  seeds are required to be harvested as dry as
  possible and stored at a place having less than
  6 of the moisture.
• If the seeds get too moist, it quickly heats up
  and become rancid. So, controlling the moisture
  content is a critical step.

Processing

• The seeds are then cleaned and hulled. In some
  processing plants, the seeds are passed through
  an electronic color-sorting machine where the
  discolored seeds are rejected to ensure
  consistent color.

  they are perceived to be of better quality by
  consumers, and traded at a higher price.
  Off-sized and immature seeds are removed and used
  for the oil production.
