Sesame butter, also known as tahini, is a creamy paste made from ground sesame seeds. Originating from the Middle East, it is a staple in Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, and North African cuisines, often used in dishes like hummus, baba ganoush, and sauces. Rich in nutrients, sesame butter is a powerhouse of healthy fats, protein, calcium, iron, and magnesium. It's an excellent source of B vitamins and antioxidants, providing heart-healthy benefits and supporting bone health. It is naturally vegan and gluten-free, making it suitable for various dietary preferences. However, sesame butter is calorie-dense due to its fat content, so portion control is recommended for those monitoring calorie intake. Whether spread on toast, blended into dressings, or stirred into smoothies, sesame butter is a versatile and nutritious choice to elevate your meals with rich flavor and health benefits.
