Harvested from the gardens at Monticello.
Thomas Jefferson planted Sesame, or "Benni", for many years at Monticello in order to press a salad oil from the seeds. He wrote in 1811, "I did not believe there existed so perfect a substitute for olive oil". Sesame has been cultivated for centuries as a food in India and tropical Africa, but in European countries it has been used primarily for the oil. Jefferson also planted Sesame as a border plant because of its ornamental qualities. Jefferson-documented: This plant was documented by Thomas Jefferson in his Garden Book, Notes on the State of Virginia, or other writings.

Direct sow seeds after the last spring frost. For shorter growing seasons, start seeds indoors 4 weeks before the last frost date. Approximately 145-150 seeds per packet.

Where are sesame seeds grown?
Sesame seeds are primarily grown in countries with warm climates, including India, Sudan, Myanmar, and Nigeria. Sesame thrives in regions with well-drained soil and a long growing season, making it a popular crop in both Asia and Africa.

Puppy love!
Color: 20 Pack Elephant
My dogs of all ages love this toy! I love the lower pitch of the squeezer, it's not annoying at all. My young pups love the crinkle sounds in the ears and also playing tug-a-war with the trunk and ears! It's held up very well and is very cute. It's a good value for the price and I think it should last a long time!

Puppy seems to love!
Color: 20 Pack Rabbit Style
Purchased to have when we brought new puppy home. This is perfect for her teething needs. I think she plays with container as much as the toys. As stated, these are toys for a puppy or smaller breed.
