Check out the name of a savoury seed (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sesame

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'seed' is the definition.
(sesame seed is a kind of seed)

'check out the name of a savoury' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'name' could be 'sam' and 'sam' is found within the answer.
'check' could be 'see' (synonyms) and 'see' is found within the remaining letters.
No letters remain.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for sesame that I've seen before include "Open .... is a pantomime cry" , "Plant grown for its seeds" , "Crop valued for its seeds and oil" , "Plant with edible seeds" , "'Open - - !' (Ali Baba)" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
