Raw White Tahini, 350ml

Rich, roasted sesame tahini. Nutty, creamy, endlessly useful.

What it is

Just one ingredient: roasted sesame seeds, ground into a smooth, nutty paste.

Sesame is one of humanity's oldest cultivated seeds, naturally rich in healthy fats, calcium and iron, and a symbol of nourishment and abundance across many cultures. A staple you will reach for daily.

Tahini has several functional nutrition benefits because it combines healthy fats, protein, minerals, and plant compounds:

• Supports heart health: Rich in mostly unsaturated fats, including oleic and linoleic acids. Replacing saturated fats with unsaturated fats can support healthier blood lipid levels.
• Good source of minerals: Particularly calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, copper, and manganese, which contribute to bone health, muscle function, energy metabolism, and connective tissue.
• Provides plant-based protein: Tahini contains roughly 5 g of protein per 2 tablespoons, making it useful in plant-forward meals.
• Helps with satiety: Its combination of fat, protein, and fiber can make meals more filling and may help reduce rapid hunger after eating.
• Contains antioxidants: Sesame seeds contain compounds such as sesamin and sesamolin, which have antioxidant properties.
• Supports digestion: It provides some dietary fiber, although the amount isn't particularly high compared with whole sesame seeds.
• May help with blood-sugar control: Because tahini is relatively low in carbohydrate and contains fat, protein, and fiber, incorporating it into a meal can slow digestion and glucose absorption compared with a carbohydrate-only food.
• Useful for nutrient absorption: The fat in tahini can help with absorption of fat-soluble compounds from foods eaten alongside it.
