Raw Tahini

Raw Tahini

EverydayRaw

Raw tahini is a paste made from stone-ground, unroasted sesame seeds that serves as a fundamental ingredient in Middle Eastern cuisine. This creamy, light-colored condiment offers a rich source of heart-healthy unsaturated fats, calcium, and iron, with a milder, more subtle flavor profile than its roasted counterpart. The pure, unheated processing method preserves more of the sesame seeds' natural nutrients while producing a smooth, pourable consistency that naturally separates at room temperature.
