Brown tahini is a rich, creamy spread made from toasted whole sesame seeds, offering a slightly nuttier and deeper flavor than traditional tahini made from hulled seeds. Originating from Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cuisines, it is a versatile staple used in dishes like hummus, salad dressings, dips, and sauces. Packed with essential nutrients, brown tahini is a good source of healthy fats, plant-based protein, calcium, and magnesium. Its robust sesame flavor pairs well with both savory and sweet recipes. Additionally, it is naturally vegan and gluten-free, making it accessible for various dietary needs. However, due to its high-calorie content and fat concentration, moderation is key, especially for those monitoring calorie intake. Brown tahini also provides beneficial antioxidants like sesamol and sesamin, which support overall health. Whether enjoyed as a standalone spread or incorporated into recipes, it combines delicious taste with nutritious benefits.
