ROSCOS DE VINO (SWEET WINE DOUGHNUTS) / XMAS SWEET | VEGAN RECIPE


WIKI NOTE: Sesame seed is one of the oldest oilseed crops known, domesticated well over 3000 years ago. Sesame has many species, most being wild and native to sub-Saharan Africa. Sesame indicum, the cultivated type, originated in India. Sesame is highly tolerant to drought-like conditions and grows where other crops may fail.
