Interesting facts about sesame milk
Compared to other "milk" drinks made from fruits of various plants, sesame is the youngest. And its extraordinary popularity prevented experiments with sesame seeds. Back in biblical times, the Aramaic people - the Semitic peoples who lived in the territory of modern Iraq and Syria - sprinkled sesame seeds on all dishes to increase the shelf life, without grinding.
The fact that the seeds were endowed with magical properties is evidenced by the translations of Arabic fairy tales. The spells "til open up" or "sim sim open the door" are present in almost all stories.
At that time, milk was made periodically, but it was already consumed. Rather, it turned out to be a byproduct of squeezing butter and making sauces to increase the shelf life of meat and milk. If it was used, it was more often for cosmetic purposes.
