Tahini is a creamy paste made from ground sesame seeds, a staple in Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cuisines. With a rich, nutty flavor, it's a key ingredient in dishes like hummus, baba ghanoush, and dressings. Tahini is highly nutritious, offering a good dose of healthy fats, plant-based protein, and essential nutrients like calcium, magnesium, zinc, and B vitamins. Its high levels of antioxidants, particularly lignans, may support heart health and reduce inflammation. While tahini is nutrient-dense, it is also calorie-rich, so portion control is important for those monitoring calorie intake. It's naturally vegan, gluten-free, and free of added sugars, making it suitable for various diets. Whether used as a dip, spread, or sauce base, tahini is not only versatile but also a wholesome way to add depth of flavor and nutrition to your meals.
