Harras Tahini can be stirred into sauces, spread on toast, or mixed into dips and desserts. Its thick sesame texture works well with lemon juice and water for a quick dressing; add the liquid gradually to control the consistency.
Oil separation on Harras Tahini is normal: sesame paste can settle during storage, leaving oil at the surface. Stir it thoroughly from the bottom with a clean, dry spoon before using.
Harras Tahini does not always need refrigeration; follow the storage directions on its package. Refrigeration can make the paste firmer, so let it sit at room temperature before stirring if it becomes difficult to mix.
There is no single opened-storage time for Harras Tahini because it depends on the package directions and how it is stored. Keep the lid closed, use a clean spoon, and discard it if it develops mold, an off smell, or a noticeably rancid taste.
Harras Tahini may have a mildly bitter, roasted sesame taste, which can vary with the sesame and roasting. A strong, stale-oil bitterness is different and may mean the tahini has gone rancid.
Yes, Harras Tahini can be blended into hummus with chickpeas, lemon juice, garlic, and water. Add it while blending, then thin the mixture gradually with water until it reaches the texture you want.
Harras Tahini works in sesame dressings, noodles, cookies, brownies, and sweet tahini sauce. For a quick dressing, whisk it with lemon juice and water; the paste thickens before it loosens, so add water a little at a time.
Yes, Harras Tahini can be frozen in a tightly sealed, freezer-safe container, though its texture may change slightly. Leave room for expansion and stir it well after thawing; freezing is usually unnecessary if you use it regularly.
Harras Tahini is sesame paste: ground sesame seeds made into a thick, pourable spread. The term “sesame paste” can also describe Chinese-style products, which may be more intensely roasted, so the two are not always identical in flavor.
Harras Tahini can replace peanut butter in some sauces, spreads, and baked recipes, but it tastes more savory and distinctly sesame-like. Start with an equal amount, then adjust sweetness or liquid to suit the recipe.

Harras Tahini is a smooth paste made by grinding sesame seeds, a staple ingredient across Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cooking. Its flavour is nutty and toasty, sometimes with a gentle bitterness, and its texture is rich and creamy. It is spooned into hummus and other dips, whisked with lemon and water for sauces, or paired with something sweet; in Turkey, tahini is often eaten with grape molasses at breakfast and used in pastries.
It is energy-dense, with 53 g of fat and 17 g of protein per 100 g, so a little goes a long way. Stir it if the oil has separated, and thin it with water or lemon juice when you want a lighter dressing.
Very 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.
Medium
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.
