Frequently Asked Questions About Wefood Organic Tahini
How do you use Wefood Organic Tahini in a sauce?
Wefood Organic Tahini makes a creamy sauce when whisked with lemon juice and water. Add the water gradually, because the mixture may thicken before it loosens; season with garlic or salt, then drizzle it over vegetables, grains, or falafel.
Why does oil separate on top of Wefood Organic Tahini?
Oil rises to the top of Wefood Organic Tahini because the natural sesame oil separates from the denser paste during storage. This is normal and does not by itself mean the tahini has spoiled; stir it thoroughly from the bottom before serving.
Should Wefood Organic Tahini be refrigerated after opening?
No, Wefood Organic Tahini usually does not need refrigeration after opening. Keep it tightly closed in a cool, dry cupboard away from sunlight and moisture; refrigeration can make the paste firmer and harder to stir or spread.
What is the easiest way to stir Wefood Organic Tahini?
Use a sturdy, long-handled spoon to stir Wefood Organic Tahini, scraping the oil and paste together from the bottom and sides. Stir slowly to avoid splashing, especially when the jar is newly opened and the separated paste is thick.
Can Wefood Organic Tahini replace peanut butter in recipes?
Yes, Wefood Organic Tahini can replace peanut butter in many sauces, dressings, and baked recipes, but its sesame flavor is more savory and slightly bitter. Start with the same amount, then adjust sweetness or liquid to suit the recipe.
What is Wefood Organic Tahini made from?
Wefood Organic Tahini is sesame paste: tahini is made by grinding sesame seeds until their natural oils create a smooth, thick mixture. The word “organic” refers to how the sesame is grown under organic standards, not to a different kind of seed.
Can you use Wefood Organic Tahini to make hummus?
Yes, Wefood Organic Tahini is a classic ingredient in hummus. Blend it with chickpeas, lemon juice, and garlic; mixing the tahini with lemon juice first can help create a smooth base before you add the chickpeas.
Why does Wefood Organic Tahini taste bitter?
A mild earthy or slightly bitter sesame taste can be normal in Wefood Organic Tahini. If it tastes sharply rancid or has an unusual odor, discard it rather than masking the flavor; heat, air, and moisture can affect quality over time.
Is Wefood Organic Tahini good for baking?
Yes, Wefood Organic Tahini works in cookies, brownies, and other baked goods, adding a distinct sesame flavor and a moist texture. Stir the jar first so the recipe gets evenly mixed paste rather than mostly oil or dense sediment.
How can you tell if Wefood Organic Tahini has gone bad?
Wefood Organic Tahini may be spoiled if it develops mold, a distinctly rancid smell, or an unpleasant off taste. Keep the jar sealed and use a clean, dry utensil; follow the package’s storage directions and date for this specific product.

What is Wefood Organic Tahini?
Wefood Organic Tahini is a thick paste made by grinding organic sesame seeds. It has a mellow, nutty flavour and a smooth, rich texture; natural oil can rise to the surface, so give it a good stir before using. Tahini has long been used across Middle Eastern and eastern Mediterranean cuisines, including Turkish cooking.
It works in savoury sauces, hummus and salad dressings, and can also be stirred into sweet dishes or spread on toast. In Turkey, a familiar pairing is tahini with grape molasses at breakfast. It is energy-dense, with mostly unsaturated fat alongside plant protein and fibre. For a lighter, pourable dressing, whisk a little tahini with lemon juice and water, adding the water gradually.
