Blend or mash dried figs and dates with tahini until the mixture reaches the texture you like. If the fruit is too firm, soften it first; add a little water only if needed. Recipes vary, and some versions include extra ingredients such as spices or sweeteners.
Spread a fig, date and tahini mixture on toast, or stir a spoonful into yogurt or oatmeal. Its fruit-and-sesame flavor also works as a dip for apple slices. Start with a small serving because the mixture is sweet and dense.
A fig, date and tahini mixture provides fiber, calcium and unsaturated fats. It also contains concentrated natural sugars from the dried fruit, so it is best treated as a sweet topping or snack rather than an unlimited health food.
Not necessarily: figs and dates make the mixture sweet on their own, but recipes and packaged versions may add sugar, syrup or other sweeteners. To avoid added sweeteners, make it yourself or check the ingredient list on the product.
Yes, a fig, date and tahini mixture can replace jam on toast or in a sandwich. It is thicker and has a nuttier, more substantial taste than fruit jam, so spread a thin layer or loosen it with a little water for a softer texture.
Store a fig, date and tahini mixture in a clean, sealed container in the refrigerator, using a clean, dry spoon each time. Homemade batches containing water or other fresh ingredients can spoil sooner, so make a small amount and use it promptly.
It can replace some of the sugar in certain recipes, but it also adds moisture, bulk and tahini flavor. That can change the texture of cakes and cookies, so a direct one-for-one swap usually will not give the same result.
It can raise blood sugar because figs and dates contain concentrated natural sugars. Portion size and the rest of the meal matter; if you have diabetes, ask your clinician or dietitian how it fits your individual eating plan.
Yes, you can freeze a fig, date and tahini mixture in a tightly sealed, freezer-safe container. Leave a little space at the top, then thaw it in the refrigerator and stir well, since the tahini may separate or the texture may change.
Serve a fig, date and tahini mixture with toast, plain yogurt, oatmeal or sliced fruit. Its sweetness pairs well with tart yogurt and crisp apples; it can also be spread inside a wrap with banana for a quick sweet snack.

Fig, date and tahini mixture brings together the concentrated sweetness and chew of dried fruit with tahini’s rich, nutty taste. It can be made at home or bought ready-made, and is enjoyed as a sweet snack or a quick addition to breakfast.
The fruit gives it a pleasantly chewy texture, while tahini makes each spoonful smooth and substantial. Spread it on toast, stir it into porridge or have a little alongside tea or coffee. It provides fibre, calcium and healthy fats, though the dried fruit makes the flavour distinctly sweet. For a more balanced snack, pair a small spoonful with plain yogurt or unsweetened porridge.
High
How many vitamins, minerals and how much fiber this food carries per calorie. A high score means a lot of nutrition for few calories.
Low
An EatBetter score computed from fiber, protein and calorie density. A high score means staying full longer on the same calories.
Both scores are calculated per 100 g and do not change with the selected portion. The satiety score is EatBetter's own calculation, not a clinical measure.
