Tahini is a silky paste that originated in Middle Eastern cuisine. It is made from organically farmed white sesame seeds that have been hulled, mildly toasted, and stone ground. It has a creamy texture and a rich, mildly nutty flavor. It is salt-free, high in calcium and magnesium, and low in sodium. Organic Tahini is also rich in protein, iron, niacin B3, and zinc, with a great amino acid profile and excellent fats. Tahini can be used as a spread, a dip, a dressing, as well as a key ingredient in many dishes including baba ghanoush and hummus.
