About Sesampaste

Sesame paste, commonly known as tahini, is a creamy condiment made from ground toasted sesame seeds. Widely used in Middle Eastern, Mediterranean, and Asian cuisines, it has a rich, nutty flavor and smooth texture. This versatile ingredient is a key component in hummus, salad dressings, and various sauces. Nutritionally, sesame paste is a powerhouse of healthy fats, plant-based protein, and essential minerals like calcium, magnesium, and zinc. It also contains antioxidants that support heart health and fight inflammation. While sesame paste is nutrient-dense, it's calorie-rich due to its high fat content, so portion control is recommended. Free from gluten and dairy, it’s suitable for vegan and vegetarian diets. Whether used to enrich dishes or as a spread, sesame paste is a flavorful addition that balances indulgence with nutritional benefits.
