Many (sesame) seeds small, make a big difference
Despite the high quality of Somali sesame, it hasNternational trade has been more difficult by the violent conflict and corruption in the country. We will give Somali Sesame the space it deserves in the European market and thereby create jobs and income in Somalia. Workplaces that not only give the locals a source of income, but also make it more difficult for extremist organizations to recruit young men because the young men stand stronger if they are in jobs. The World Bank has documented how investments in the private sector in Somalia are crucial to resilience and innovation in the fragile and conflict -affected country.
The Somali Sesame we sell at Warfair, is from Somseed Agri in Mogadishu which acquires and exports sesame from Somali farming. There are hundreds of agriculture that delivers to Somseed Agri and production gives work to several thousand Somalis. A number we hope can rise even more.
Our sesame has been tested according to all the rules of art and contains no pesticide residues. In the long term, the goal is to get a certified sesame from Somalia, but due to the high level of conflict in the country it is not yet possible.

Now pour them into a food processor or blender and blend until you have a uniform mass. You have to arm yourself with a little patience as it may take some time before the seeds begin to release the oil and turn into a "butter".
