The name is derived from the fact that the husk hull (skin) of these seeds is removed during processing. Hulled sesame seeds have plenty of health benefits and medicinal properties that make them popular among Indians. They had high nutritional value and contained all the essential minerals required by common man. Hulled sesame seeds are sesame seeds that have had their outer covering, or hull, removed during processing. The hull gives the seeds a golden-brown color. After the skin is removed, the seeds look almost white in color.
