Sesame Tahini(Keywords: sesame tahini, tahini sesame, hummus, what are phytosterols? Make your own tahini, chiropractic)Sesame is an oil seed, not unlike the sunflower seed, maize seed and rape. However sesame seeds produce the most delicious paste called Tahini. In texture it is rather like peanut butter, but the taste is quite different, having a slightly bitter, nutty flavour. Unlike sunflower (and most oils) the oil in sesame tahini is not solvent-extracted - you get the whole seed, germ, oil and all. Always look for cold pressed oils, but they are difficult to find. Traces of the solvents (highly toxic) remain in the oil. Of course, if you want to know more about the queen of the oils, read more about Olive Garden Nutrition. Cold pressed, too.

Delicious.
