Question
What happens if you plant a sesame seed? Will it grow a sesame plant, if it hasn't been factory-processed or heated or anything?

Answer
Hey J,
Thanx for your question.  Most sesame seed that are available to us in a culinary environment have been baked, heated, saute'd, roasted, etc. and therefore are not viable seed.  If you want to grow sesame from seeds do a search on Google.com and I assure you, you will come up with a number of sources.  Sesame requires a long, hot, summer.  So, sesame can be grown in the the Southern, lower Central Midwestern states, the Southwest and California.  I hope this helps.
