Fruit Type: The fruit of the sesame plant is a capsule. Capsules are dry fruits that split open when mature to release their seeds.
Shape and Size: Sesame capsules are typically elongated and cylindrical in shape, measuring around 2 to 3 centimeters in length. They have a narrow, slender appearance.
Color: Sesame capsules start off green during early growth stages but turn tan or brown as they mature. The color change signifies that the seeds inside are ready for harvesting.
Texture: The capsules have a papery and slightly brittle texture when mature. The outer layer of the capsule protects the seeds inside.
Compartmentalization: Sesame capsules are divided into compartments, which contain the til seeds. Each compartment holds multiple seeds, and these compartments are separated by thin walls.
Seed Dispersal: When sesame capsules mature and dry, they split open along the walls to release the til seeds. This dispersal mechanism aids in the natural propagation of the sesame plant.
