Well-written:

The style and tone of this article is good. I found some parts which could use clarification:

Under "Origins and History":

"It has been claimed that trading of sesame"... It would be good to give a more specific basis or origin for this claim.
- Attributed.

"earning it the name of survivor crop" should clarify if this is some kind of official term or name for the crop, or a descriptor - seems based on the source that it's a descriptor but it's unclear here.
- Attributed.

Under "Botany":

"The mass of 100 seeds is 0.203 g." Since previously in the paragraph it's stated that the size of the seeds varies, we should say if this is a specific cultivar or type of seed.
- Good point, added.

Otherwise no issues.

Verifiable with no original research: Citations look good, and did not see any copyright violation.

Noted.

Broad in its coverage: This went into a good amount of depth, although under the section "Culinary use" could have covered the use of sesame as a flavoring or filling in Asia more, as well as uses in North America.

...

Neutral: Did not find any issue with neutrality.

Noted.

Stable: Review of recent history did not find any edit warring.

Noted.

Illustrated: Good use of images and tables for information. Did not find any usage issues.

Noted.

Overall, good article, close to passing this, just could use a few clarifications. Thanks for reviewing my article!

Many thanks for the review. Chiswick Chap (talk) 17:45, 29 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
