About Tehina
Tehina, also known as tahini, is a creamy paste made from ground sesame seeds. A staple in Middle Eastern cuisine, it’s used in dishes like hummus, baba ganoush, and salad dressings. Packed with nutrients, tehina is rich in healthy fats, protein, calcium, iron, and magnesium, offering a boost to bone health and energy levels. Sesame seeds also contain antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds that may support heart health. Despite its benefits, tehina is calorie-dense due to its high fat content, so moderation is key for those monitoring caloric intake. Typically free from added sugars or preservatives, tehina is a versatile, naturally plant-based ingredient, making it suitable for vegan and gluten-free diets. Its creamy texture and nutty flavor make it both delicious and nutritious, ideal for enhancing savory dishes while contributing valuable nutrients to a balanced diet.
