Origin of Tahini

Tahini is a Middle Eastern condiment made from toasted ground sesame. Tahini originated in ancient Persia and moved to Israel. It is an important part of Middle Eastern, Turkish, North African, and Greek cuisines.

Tahini, in its original form, is a thick paste made from ground sesame seeds. As such, tahini is high in protein, vitamins B1 and B2, and other beneficial nutrients. This makes tahini dressing a healthy alternative to many salad dressings out there.

What to do with a jar of tahini?

Tahini is a versatile ingredient that can be served alone or used to make hummus, a salad dressing, or a dipping sauce for your favorite finger foods.

Should you refrigerate tahini?

It is best for you to store a jar of tahini in a cool dry location, such as your pantry. However, you should store the dressing in the fridge. It can thicken once refrigerated, so you may want to add more water to achieve a thinner consistency for future uses.

What do you put tahini dressing on?

Tahini dressing is great for vegetables, especially a good kale salad, roasted carrots, and both raw and cooked broccoli. It is also a great sauce for burgers, especially a Chickpea Quinoa Burger.
