Frequently Asked Questions About Plain Harras Tahini
What is Plain Harras Tahini made from?
Plain Harras Tahini is a smooth paste made from ground sesame seeds. It can be eaten on its own or mixed into dips, sauces, dressings, and baked goods.
Why does oil separate in Plain Harras Tahini?
Oil separation in Plain Harras Tahini is natural: sesame oil rises to the surface while the jar sits. Stir it thoroughly from the bottom upward with a clean, sturdy spoon before serving.
How should you store Plain Harras Tahini after opening?

What can you make with Plain Harras Tahini?

Can you eat Plain Harras Tahini straight from the jar?

Does Plain Harras Tahini need to be refrigerated?

Is Plain Harras Tahini the same as sesame paste?
Yes, Plain Harras Tahini is sesame paste: tahini is the common name for a paste made from ground sesame seeds. It is not the same as sesame oil, which is a liquid oil.
Why is my Plain Harras Tahini hard to stir?
Plain Harras Tahini can be hard to stir when the sesame oil has separated and the thicker paste has settled at the bottom. Leave the jar at room temperature briefly, then mix slowly from the bottom up.
Can Plain Harras Tahini replace peanut butter in recipes?
Yes, Plain Harras Tahini can replace peanut butter in many sauces, dressings, and baked recipes, but the flavor will be more savory and sesame-forward. Start with an equal amount and adjust sweetness or liquid as needed.
Does Plain Harras Tahini go bad after opening?
Yes, Plain Harras Tahini can eventually turn rancid because it contains sesame oil. Keep it sealed and dry, and discard it if it develops a distinctly stale, paint-like smell or an unpleasant rancid taste.

What is Plain Harras Tahini?
Plain Harras Tahini is a smooth paste made by grinding sesame seeds, a staple ingredient across the eastern Mediterranean and Middle East. It can be stirred into sauces and dips, blended into hummus, or used in baking and sweets. In Turkey, tahini is often paired with grape molasses at breakfast; elsewhere it is also common in savoury dressings and as a spread.
Its flavour is nutty and toasted, with a rich, slightly earthy finish; the texture is thick and can separate in the jar, so stir it before using. Tahini is energy-dense and provides plant protein, with 17 g per 100 g. A little adds plenty of flavour to toast, roasted vegetables or a lemony dressing; thin it with water or lemon juice when you want a lighter sauce.
