Guest guest Posted February 10, 2006 Report Share Posted February 10, 2006 Tahini is ground sesame seeds. It comes in a jar like peanut butter. the taste sort of resembles peanut butter too. Just make sure you get raw tahini because it does come in raosted form. Have a gret day, Heather I have never heard of this and wouldnt begin to know where to look for it in a store.

Guest guest Posted February 10, 2006 Report Share Posted February 10, 2006 Tahini is ground up sesame seeds (like peanut butter is ground peanuts - very cacinogenic, don't reccommend it!) Tahini is very earthy in taste...it's kind of bitter. I don't know how else to describe it. It's really high in calcium, and when added to recipes it gives them a little extra kick. Make sure you find raw tahini. One brand that I am aware of is Living Tree Community Foods (about $8 for 16oz here in San Diego). Some brands say that they are raw, but the machinery in the production process heats up so much that it kills all the enzymes in the product. This is the same with all nut butters. All of Living Tree's products are truly raw. http://www.livingtreecommunity.com/store2/product.asp?id=10 & catid=1 lala Sherry <dobeythehouseelf wrote: Hey everyone....

Guest guest Posted March 14, 2008 Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 It is a sesame seed paste. You find it in jars and can near peanut butter in the grocery stores. Health food stores have a good variety of brands. I like the MaraNatha brand the best. It stays blended better. Here is some more info on Tahini and this brand to look at. http://www.worldpantry.com/cgi-bin/ncommerce3/CategoryDisplay?cgmenbr=172832 & cgr\ fnbr=191654 This is a tasty item to have on hand. It is used in many Middle Eastern dishes and dressings. Refrigerate this product after opening. Judy - Kathleen keene Friday, March 14, 2008 7:26 PM Re: has anyone 'corned' seitan? Yup! It turned out pretty good, too! I just used a traditional corned beef recipe, not much change at all, except no slab of flesh! ha! 360./naturekeene7 My Website! Never miss a thing.

Guest guest Posted March 14, 2008 Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 I love their almond butter (MaraNatha-creamy and roasted). Do you have a preference for the tahini (raw vs roasted)?

Guest guest Posted March 14, 2008 Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 I've always bought the raw and love it. I love almost all nuts and seed better raw, rather than roasted unless they have been frozen and then I dry roast them a bit. I love their almond butter and their cashew butter toooo. So very good.
