About Tahina
Tahina, also known as tahini, is a creamy paste made from toasted and ground hulled sesame seeds. Originating in Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cuisines, it's a versatile staple used in dishes like hummus, baba ghanoush, and salad dressings. Tahina is rich in healthy fats, primarily unsaturated, and offers a good source of plant-based protein. It's packed with nutrients, including calcium, iron, magnesium, and B vitamins, which support bone health and energy production. Its antioxidant properties, thanks to sesamol and sesamin compounds, may help combat inflammation. While nutritious, tahina is calorie-dense due to its high fat content, so moderation is advised for those monitoring energy intake. Its creamy texture and distinct nutty flavor make it a satisfying addition to savory and sweet recipes alike, providing both health benefits and culinary versatility.
