Tahini is a creamy paste made from ground sesame seeds, a staple in Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cuisine. Completely plant-based, vegan tahini contains only sesame seeds and occasionally a pinch of salt or added oil. Packed with nutrients, it is a rich source of healthy fats, particularly heart-friendly unsaturated fats, as well as protein, calcium, magnesium, and vitamin B6. The high antioxidant content in sesame seeds may also support metabolic health and reduce inflammation. Tahini is naturally gluten-free and offers versatility as it can be used in hummus, dressings, sauces, or even desserts. However, its caloric density should be enjoyed in moderation, especially if you're monitoring fat intake. Free of animal products and highly nutritious, vegan tahini is a flavorful, wholesome condiment that can enhance a variety of dishes while supporting a balanced plant-based diet.
