About Homemade tahini sauce

Homemade tahini sauce is a creamy and flavorful condiment rooted in Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cuisine. Made primarily from tahini—a paste crafted from sesame seeds—it often incorporates ingredients like fresh lemon juice, garlic, olive oil, salt, and water to achieve its smooth consistency and tangy profile. Packed with nutrients, tahini is an excellent source of healthy fats, plant-based protein, and essential minerals such as calcium, magnesium, and zinc. It also contains antioxidants and is naturally vegan and gluten-free. While tahini sauce is a wholesome addition to salads, roasted vegetables, or grain bowls, moderation is key, as its high fat content—albeit from healthy fats—adds significant calories when consumed in large quantities. Homemade variations allow for customization of flavor and sodium levels, making it a versatile way to enhance both taste and nutrition in your meals.
