Our local cultures are actually deeply connected with the sesame plant, even if we are not conscious of it. Those watching TV in the USA in the 1970s remember Sesame Street, but rarely consider why the street named this way. The word sesame was inspired by the adventure of the ancient Babylonian celebrity Ali Baba from the fable Arabian Nights, in which he proclaims, Open, Sesame! to magically unlock a cave of treasures sealed by a large rock. Babylonian culture was known to offer sesame oil to call in the gods, so he naturally used the magic of sesame.
Open, Sesame!
Open, Sesame!
