ok, seriously. i have been downing tahini like no ones business. its just sooo yummy! its the best substitute for sauce. i use it in my tuna fish instead of mayo and i use it as salad dressing in all my salads and i use it in my sanwhiches!!! YUMMMY!!!
Tahini paste is made from crushed sesame seeds. Think peanut butter, only made with sesame seeds.
Benefits of tahini
Tahini is a source of calcium, protein and B vitamins. Tahini is a good source of essential fatty acids (EFA), these EFA's are used in helping to maintain healthy skin.
Because one of the ingredients in tahini is sesame oil it has quite a high calorie content. Because of this tahini should be used in moderation. The good news is the majority of fats in tahini are unsaturated rather than saturated.
Tahini is a source of vitamin E which helps to reduce the rate of ageing in body cells.
Sesame seeds are also a good source of the amino acid Methionine. Methionine is an important contributor to liver detoxification and helps with the absorption of other amino acids.
Great for people on raw food diet :)
ENJOY!
yummy yummy!
