Tahini is Dreamy

We all know you need tahini to make humus, but what is tahini? Tahini is a condiment made from toasted ground sesame seeds. It’s tan in color and usually located near the nut butters at your local grocery store. It’s used in many Mediterranean, Middle Easter, African and even some Asian recipes.

Besides being popular in many cultures, it also has many health benefits, such as:

1. It’s a great source of essential vitamins and minerals, such as B vitamins, magnesium, iron and zinc.
2. It helps regulate blood pressure and cholesterol.
3. Tahini can help balance hormones, especially in menopausal women.
