Organic Raw Tahini (Sesame Seed Paste)
Tahini is to Middle Easterners what peanut butter is to Americans. Sesame seeds are a traditional food that has been used in various cultures around the world for at least 5000 years. Read more about the history here. Tahini is a sesame seed paste made from the sesame seeds. Sesame seeds are 25 percent protein and are especially rich in methionine and tryptophan, often lacking in adequate quantities in many plant proteins. Tahini contains 2.9 grams of protein per tablespoon, .9 grams of fiber, and 8.1 grams of total fat. Tahini also contains the B vitamins (see complete nutrient analysis below). That same tablespoon contains 153.6 mg calcium and 3.07 mg iron. Additional minerals include 57.9 mg magnesium and 93.12 mg potassium. Humus is a popular spread in Middle Eastern cuisine that is made with chick peas (garbanzo beans) and tahini. We have a recipe we developed that includes Virgin Coconut Oil: Humus with Virgin Coconut Oil Ingredients
