About Tahina sauce

Tahina sauce, a staple in Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cuisine, is made primarily from ground sesame seeds, water, lemon juice, and garlic. Known for its creamy texture and earthy flavor, it’s often used as a dip, drizzle, or base for dishes like falafel, shawarma, or salads. Nutritionally, tahina is rich in healthy fats, protein, and essential nutrients such as calcium, magnesium, and vitamin E, making it a heart-healthy option when enjoyed in moderation. The sesame seeds provide powerful antioxidants and may support bone health and skin wellness. However, tahina is calorie-dense and high in fats, so portion control is key, especially for individuals monitoring calorie intake. Vegan-friendly and gluten-free, tahina sauce stands out as a versatile and nutritious condiment that enhances the flavor of a variety of meals while contributing valuable nutrients to your diet.
