      <description><![CDATA[Lots of interesting facts in this article! I knew that seasame seeds were domesticated a long time ago but I didn't realize that they were, in fact, domesticated well over 5000 years ago: that's quite the long time ago!! Another fun fact that I learned was that McDonald's purchases approximately 75% of Mexico's sesame seed crops to use on their sesame buns, which I never would have guessed: it's funny to think that these specific seeds are eaten all over the world. Also, while I am not surprised given all the variability in the plant kingdom, I never knew that numerous varieties of sesame seeds exist, varying in size and colour, from tan to black, with off-white colour is the most common variety. I had thought that there were only a few varieties!!

Something else that I learned from your article was that sesame seeds have one of highest oil contents of any seed with some varieties containing up to 50% oil content, and that sesame seeds are also high in protein and are about 25% protein by weight. 
Thanks for all the smokin' seasame seed facts! ;)]]></description>
