Sesame is a type of oilseed that is widely used in cooking and baking. It is also known as benne, benniseed, or simsim. The term 'sesame, e.g.' is often used to refer to the sesame seed, which is the most common form of the oilseed. The word 'STREET' is also associated with sesame, as it is often used to describe the popular children's television show Sesame STREET. The show features a variety of characters, including Big Bird, Elmo, and Cookie Monster, who all use sesame seeds in their adventures.
