About Sesame seed sauce

Sesame seed sauce, often referred to as tahini, is a creamy paste made from ground toasted sesame seeds. Originating from Middle Eastern cuisine, this versatile condiment is widely used in dishes like hummus, dressings, and marinades. Rich in healthy fats, sesame seed sauce is a notable source of plant-based protein, essential vitamins, and minerals, including calcium, magnesium, and iron, making it a nutrient-dense addition to meals. It also contains antioxidants that may support heart health and promote anti-inflammatory benefits. Despite its health advantages, sesame seed sauce is calorie-dense due to its high fat content, so portion control is recommended for those watching caloric intake. Naturally vegan and gluten-free, sesame seed sauce is a flavorful and healthful choice for enhancing a wide variety of dishes.
