Tahini is an oil-based paste produced by grinding peeled and toasted sesame seeds. A natural product, it’s a great source of calcium, protein, B vitamins and essential fatty acids. It has a long shelf life and can be stored for up to two years after production. Tahini is the main ingredient in hummus and halva, and is a major part of many Middle Eastern dishes. It can also be found in Chinese, Japanese, Korean and African cuisines. Frequently used in sauces, soups or as a side dish in Greek, Turkish, Arabic and Israeli restaurants, the paste is used as a healthier replacement for peanut
butter or as a non-dairy alternative to butter or margarine. However, its application is not limited to savoury dishes. It can also be enjoyed in sweet dishes such as pies, cakes and cookies.
