What it is

How we read a bare request for this
No form is selected by default; explicit wording or deliberate choice controls sourcing fit.
Where it is used
Relate to sesame; do not assert biological distinctness. Generic sesame may be a substitute only when a recipe permits it, not an exact identity match.

Also called

benne, benne seeds, benne sesame

may refer to plant or seed; food procurement context resolves to seed; Not equivalent to: generic sesame oil

useful bridge term, but not a license to erase heirloom identity
