Health Paradise Organic Hulled Tahini (White) 350g

Known Benefits

Here is why you should start using Hulled Tahini:

• It is a good source of vitamins, minerals, protein, iron, calcium, and essential fatty acids (EFA)
  • EFA’s are used in helping to maintain healthy skin
• Tahini is a source of vitamin E which helps to reduce the rate of ageing in body cells

  • Methionine is an important contributor to liver detoxification and helps with the absorption of other amino acids
• It is high in unsaturated fat (good fat!), rather than saturated fat
  • However, hulled Tahini has a rather high calorie content, therefore it should be used in moderation

Recommended Usage

Here is how you can use Hulled Tahini:

• It can be used by itself as dip with cruidite or roasted vegetables
• Used as a spread
  • It is commonly quoted as being a ‘peanut butter alternative’ but can also be used as a non dairy butter/margarine.
• It can be used to make a popular middle eastern dish called Baba Ganoush
  • This dish uses roasted Aubergine (egg plant), garlic, ground cumin, lemon juice and salt
• Tahini can be used to make Houmous/Hummus
  • Hummus originates from the middle east and is a chick pea based spread
  • Made using chick peas, tahini, lemon juice, olive oil and garlic
  • Goes very well with flat breads such as pitta bread
  • Here’s a Hummus recipe:
    • 1/4 cup Tahini
      1/4 cup olive oil
      2 – 3 cloves of garlic
      1 cup lemon juice
      1 teaspoon saltCrush garlic and mix it with salt. Add these and the all the other ingredients (apart from the lemon juice and olive oil) into a blender. Blend and gradually add both the lemon juice and the olive oil. Hummus can be used as a dip or a spread, try carrot and pineapple crudite. Serve with raw almonds and olives and warm pitta bread. This is a delicious natural food.
