Black sesame seeds, though similar to their white counterparts, have a richer flavor and stronger aroma. The black sesame seeds we use in our organic black sesame tahini are not hulled, leaving everything this magical little seed has to offer intact. Our raw organic Black Sesame Tahini makes for a dramatic color contrast in dips and spreads, mixes well with darker beans (such as turtle beans) and can visually enhance a meal presentation. Because the seeds are not hulled, our Black Sesame Tahini is higher in calcium than white sesame seed tahini.
Our organic Black Sesame Tahini also contains high levels of copper, essential for building collagen and elastin plus zinc, which promotes the immune system and helps reduce the risk of osteoporosis. We maintain the nutritional integrity of our organic Black Sesame Tahini by grinding fresh black sesame seeds multiple times slowly and repetitively, allowing time to cool between grinds. We immediately refrigerate our raw, organic Black Sesame Tahini until shipping.
Enjoy as any nut or seed butter, including peanut butter; plain raw, roasted, baked or cooked with sweets or savories in sandwiches, wraps, rolls or crackers. Use in salad dressing, seed milk, raw soup, raw gravy or with sweets. Cook with beans, stews, bread and cake dough or enhance all sauces, soups and dressings. These creamy (soaked in their own oil) morsels, enhance their own digestibility and thus sesame nutrient assimilation. So it’s smooth and creamy and so our bodies get naturally present life energy and nutrition; we grind, then cool fresh seeds repetitively at a low temperature (under 115° F). Enjoy plain or mix. This has Lignans that help lower serum cholesterol levels.
