Raw tahini is a creamy paste made from 100% ground sesame seeds, offering a versatile ingredient rooted in Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cuisines. With a mildly nutty flavor and smooth texture, it's used in dishes like hummus, dressings, and sauces. Packed with essential nutrients, raw tahini is rich in healthy fats, including heart-friendly unsaturated fats, while providing plant-based protein, fiber, and key minerals like calcium, magnesium, and zinc. It’s a good source of B vitamins, aiding energy and metabolism. Unlike roasted tahini, raw tahini retains more of the natural nutrients due to minimal processing. Though nutrient-dense, tahini is calorie-rich and contains fat, so portion control is important for balanced eating. Free of additives, it’s suitable for vegan and gluten-free diets and may support bone health, skin, and overall well-being when enjoyed as part of a varied diet.
