Abstract: A method for husking sesame seeds, characterized by the fact that the sesame seeds, previously freed from their impurities, are introduced into an attrition apparatus. By carrying out a simultaneous water and water steam injection in a proportion such that the seed water content is of about 15%, a swelling of the seeds occurs and at least 95% of the husk is removed. After sieving, the seeds thus almost husked are introducing in a drying assembly at the inlet of which they receive a complementary injection of water steam so that their water content be of the order of 14% to 18%. The drying operation is carried out for 1 hour to 2 hours at a temperature of 120.degree. to 130.degree. C., so that at the outlet of the drying apparatus the remaining husk is separated from the kernels and dessicated.
