Harvested from the gardens at Monticello.
Thomas Jefferson planted Sesame, or "Benni", for many years at Monticello in order to press a salad oil from the seeds. He wrote in 1811, "I did not believe there existed so perfect a substitute for olive oil". Sesame has been cultivated for centuries as a food in India and tropical Africa, but in European countries it has been used primarily for the oil. Jefferson also planted Sesame as a border plant because of its ornamental qualities. Jefferson-documented: This plant was documented by Thomas Jefferson in his Garden Book, Notes on the State of Virginia, or other writings.

Direct sow seeds after the last spring frost. For shorter growing seasons, start seeds indoors 4 weeks before the last frost date. Approximately 145-150 seeds per packet.

Where are sesame seeds grown?
Sesame seeds are primarily grown in countries with warm climates, including India, Sudan, Myanmar, and Nigeria. Sesame thrives in regions with well-drained soil and a long growing season, making it a popular crop in both Asia and Africa.

Decent Quailty
Size: 28mm, Color: Red
Great for taking off the Cummins 6.7 fuel filter cap. 28MM nice color making it easy to spot should you drop it in the engine compartment. Appears to be made of a bit soft material. IMHO don't think it would take a lot of torque. But again it’s to remove a plastic fuel filter cover so you should not be applying a lot of force on it to begin with.

Saved my plastic oil filter cap. A must-have for Chrysler owners.
Size: 24mm, Color: Green
I struggled for a long time trying to remove the plastic oil filter cap on my Chrysler. I almost broke it a couple of times using the wrong tool. My friend told me to buy this socket. I was worried because it's aluminum. I thought it might not be strong enough. But it works great. What's good: The 24mm low profile fits perfectly on the plastic cap. The aluminum is strong — it grips the cap well without damaging it. 6-point design gives good grip, won't strip the plastic. I bought it once and use it every time now. How I use it: I only use this socket for removing the oil filter cap. Nothing else. I don't want to break it. Bottom line: If you have a plastic oil filter cap (especially on a Chrysler), buy this socket. It will save you from breaking an expensive part. One of those tools you don't need often, but when you need it, you're glad you have it.

Good price!
These are your basic filters for jeep or Chrysler vehicles with the regular oil change interval mileage. Cheaper than Autozone for the price.
