About Tehini

Tahini is a creamy paste made from ground sesame seeds, commonly used in Middle Eastern, Mediterranean, and North African cuisines. Rich in nutrients, it provides a healthy dose of plant-based protein, heart-healthy fats, and essential vitamins such as B1 and E, along with minerals like calcium, magnesium, and iron. Tahini is naturally high in unsaturated fats, which can support heart health when consumed in moderation, but it is calorie-dense, so portion control is important for those watching energy intake. Its nutty flavor makes it a versatile ingredient in savory dishes like hummus, baba ghanoush, or salad dressings, as well as sweet recipes like cookies and smoothies. Free from dairy and gluten, tahini is often embraced in vegan and gluten-free diets. With its high antioxidant content, tahini contributes to overall inflammation reduction and supports brain and bone health, making it a nutritious and flavorful addition to varied diets.
