About this product

Wellega sesame grows in western Oromia, south of the Humera belt, and trades a step below Humera because of its lower oil content. That price gap makes it the practical choice for oil crushers and for bakery toppings.

Tahini makers who want a whitish sesame at a lower cost also blend Wellega with Humera. Hajuta machine cleans and fumigates each lot and packs it in 50 kg PP bags.

Hajuta confirms final specifications for each lot against the agreed pre-shipment sample.
