About Tahin
Tahini is a creamy paste made from toasted ground sesame seeds, widely used in Middle Eastern, Mediterranean, and North African cuisines. Rich in flavor with a slightly nutty and earthy taste, tahini serves as a key ingredient in dishes like hummus, baba ghanoush, and various dressings and sauces. Nutritionally, tahini is a powerhouse packed with healthy fats, protein, fiber, vitamins such as B1 and B3, and essential minerals like copper, manganese, and magnesium. It also contains antioxidants and lignans that may support heart health and reduce inflammation. While tahini is nutrient-dense, it is calorie-rich and should be consumed in moderation, particularly for those monitoring fat intake. Tahini is naturally vegan, gluten-free, and a good choice for people with nut allergies who are seeking an alternative spread or ingredient. Versatile and satisfying, tahini offers both culinary and health benefits when incorporated thoughtfully into a balanced diet.
