Frequently Asked Questions About Brown tahini made from whole sesame
What is brown tahini made from whole sesame, and how is it different from regular tahini?

Is brown tahini made from whole sesame good with molasses?

What is Brown tahini made from whole sesame?
Brown tahini made from whole sesame is a thick paste of sesame seeds ground with their outer hulls intact. Tahini has a long history across the Middle East and eastern Mediterranean; using whole seeds gives this variety a darker colour and a fuller, sometimes slightly bitter flavour than tahini made from hulled seeds.
It can be spooned into dressings and dips, stirred into hummus, or spread on toast. In Turkey and nearby regions, tahini is also commonly paired with grape molasses for breakfast, while cooks elsewhere use it in sauces, baking and sweets.
