Turkery:Harvest excitement in ancestral seed sesame in Konya
There is the excitement of the harvest in local sesame, which is one of the hidden flavor treasures of Konya's Meram district, and is carried from the handcrafted soil to the tables. The harvest season continues for sesame produced from ancestral seeds in Meram. In the statement made on the subject, "There is the excitement of harvest in our local sesame, which is the hidden flavor treasure of our district, carried from the soil to our tables with handicraft and eye light. Together with the technical staff of our Meram District Directorate and Selçuk University Faculty of Agriculture Faculty Member Prof. Dr. Süleyman Soylu; We examined the ongoing sesame harvest works in our Kayıhüyük, Boyalı and Kavak neighborhoods on site. Sesame plants, which are plucked one by one by hand in the field, are left to dry in bundles on the threshing floors. Those unique grains, which dry over time and fall out of the capsules that open by themselves, are carefully collected in tents. At the end of this laborious journey, the famous Meram tahini, one of the most special tastes of our geography, is produced."
