About Sesame butter, creamy
Tahini is a smooth paste made from ground sesame seeds, and it is the backbone of Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cooking — the ingredient that gives hummus its richness and halva its character. Creamy versions are made from hulled seeds, producing a pale, pourable paste with a nutty, faintly bitter edge.
It is calorie-dense at around 697 calories per 100 grams, mostly from unsaturated fat, but it earns its place nutritionally: sesame seeds are an exceptional plant source of calcium and copper, and tahini also supplies magnesium, phosphorus, iron, zinc and protein. A couple of tablespoons is a typical serving, so the per-100-gram figures here represent a much larger amount than most people eat at once.
Beyond hummus, tahini is whisked with lemon and garlic into a pourable sauce for falafel and roasted vegetables, swirled into dressings and dips, and used in both savory dishes and sweets. It naturally separates in the jar, so a good stir before use is essential.
