Frequently Asked Questions About WeeFood Tahini
What is WeeFood Tahini made from?
WeeFood Tahini is sesame paste, made by grinding sesame seeds. Stir it before serving, since the sesame oil can separate and rise to the top during storage.
Why does oil separate in WeeFood Tahini?
Oil separation in WeeFood Tahini is natural: sesame’s oil can rise to the surface while the jar sits. Stir from the bottom upward until the paste is evenly blended; separation alone does not mean it has spoiled.
How should you store WeeFood Tahini after opening?
Keep WeeFood Tahini tightly closed in a cool, dry place, and use a clean, dry spoon. Follow any storage directions printed on the jar, since they apply to that specific product.
How can you use WeeFood Tahini to make hummus?
Add WeeFood Tahini to mashed chickpeas with lemon juice and garlic, then blend until smooth. If the hummus is too thick, add water a little at a time while blending.
How do you make a sauce with WeeFood Tahini?
Whisk WeeFood Tahini with lemon juice and a little water for a quick sauce. Add the water gradually: tahini may thicken at first, then loosen into a smooth, pourable dressing as you keep whisking.
Why does WeeFood Tahini taste bitter?
WeeFood Tahini can have a pronounced, slightly bitter sesame flavor, but it should not taste rancid or unpleasantly sharp. If it has an unusual off smell or strongly unpleasant taste, discard it rather than trying to mask it.
Can you bake with WeeFood Tahini?
Yes, WeeFood Tahini works in cookies, cakes, and other baked goods. Its rich sesame flavor pairs well with ingredients such as chocolate, honey, and fruit; mix it thoroughly before measuring so the oil and paste are combined.
Can WeeFood Tahini replace peanut butter?
Yes, you can use WeeFood Tahini instead of peanut butter in many spreads, sauces, and recipes. Its sesame flavor is more pronounced, so it may change the taste; thin it with a little water for a smoother spread.
Does WeeFood Tahini need to be refrigerated?
WeeFood Tahini does not necessarily need refrigeration; a tightly closed jar in a cool, dry cupboard is a practical storage choice. Refrigeration can make the paste firmer, so stir it well before use if it has been chilled.
How can you tell if WeeFood Tahini has gone bad?
Discard WeeFood Tahini if you see mold or notice a rancid smell, an unusual sourness, or a strongly off taste. A layer of sesame oil on top is normal and is not, by itself, a sign of spoilage.

What is WeeFood Tahini?
WeeFood Tahini is a smooth, rich paste made from ground sesame seeds, a staple ingredient in Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cooking. It has a nutty, gently roasted flavour and a thick texture that loosens when stirred or mixed with liquid.
It is often whisked with lemon and water for a savoury sauce, stirred into hummus, or used in sweets; outside its home region, it also works well in dressings and on toast. Tahini is energy-dense, with plant protein, fibre and mostly unsaturated fats. A little goes a long way: thin it with lemon juice or water for a lighter sauce, or pair it with vegetables and beans for a satisfying meal.
