Frequently Asked Questions About Torku Tahini
What is Torku Tahini made from?
Torku Tahini is a sesame-based paste made by grinding sesame seeds. Its rich, nutty flavour makes it useful in both savoury and sweet dishes; for any additional ingredients, use the information printed on the jar.
Why does oil separate in Torku Tahini?
Oil can rise to the top of Torku Tahini because sesame oil naturally separates from the ground seeds. This alone does not mean the product has spoiled. Stir it from the bottom up with a clean, dry spoon before serving.
How should you store Torku Tahini after opening?
Keep Torku Tahini tightly closed in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Use a clean, dry spoon each time, since moisture or food crumbs introduced into the jar can make the paste spoil sooner.
How do you make tahini sauce with Torku Tahini?
To make a quick sauce, whisk Torku Tahini with lemon juice and a little water until smooth, then season to taste. Add the water gradually: tahini may thicken at first before loosening into a pourable dressing.
Can you use Torku Tahini to make hummus?
Yes, Torku Tahini works in hummus. Blend it with chickpeas, lemon juice, garlic and a little water until creamy, adding liquid gradually to reach the texture you like.
Why does Torku Tahini taste bitter?
A mild bitter edge in Torku Tahini can come from the sesame seeds or how they were roasted. If the flavour has become sharply bitter or the paste smells stale, it may have turned rancid and should be discarded.
Can you use Torku Tahini in baking?
Yes, Torku Tahini can be mixed into cookies, cakes and other baked goods for a nutty flavour. Stir the jar first, then blend the paste evenly into the batter so that separated oil does not affect the texture.
How can you tell if Torku Tahini has gone bad?
Torku Tahini may be spoiled if it develops a mouldy appearance, an unusual sharp or stale smell, or a distinctly changed taste. Oil separation by itself is normal; discard the product if you notice signs of spoilage.
Is Torku Tahini a healthy food?
Torku Tahini provides sesame-derived fats and protein, and can add flavour to a meal. It is also rich and filling, so a modest spoonful is often enough for a sauce, spread or dressing.
Can Torku Tahini replace peanut butter?
Yes, Torku Tahini can replace peanut butter as a spread or in some recipes, but the flavour is more sesame-forward and may be less sweet. Try it on toast or blend it into a sauce, adjusting sweeteners or liquid to taste.

What is Torku Tahini?
Torku Tahini is a packaged Turkish sesame paste made from ground sesame seeds. It has a thick, creamy texture and a toasted, gently bitter nuttiness. In Turkey, tahini is often stirred together with grape molasses and spread on bread at breakfast; it is also used in halva and sauces. Elsewhere, it is familiar in hummus, dressings and dips, where its richness balances lemon and garlic.
It is energy-dense, with much of its energy coming from fat, and also provides protein and fibre. Stir it before serving if oil has risen to the top, then use a spoonful in a sauce or pair it with something tangy or sweet. A modest portion works well when you want its deep sesame flavour without making a dish too rich.
