Tahini, also known as “sesame butter,” is a paste made entirely out of ground sesame seeds. It is a common ingredient in many vegetarian and vegan recipes (particularly in salad dressings and homemade hummus), and is a popular ingredient in traditional Middle-Eastern cooking. Pepperwood Organic’s Sesame Tahini is made solely from a unique and exceptional breed of sesame seeds, which is cultivated in the fertile soils of Humera, Ethiopia, where the climate is ideal for the growth of this potent seed. All of our crops are Organic & Non-GMO. 'Golden-White-Humera' Sesame seeds have a sweet and rich nutty flavor. It is the perfect sesame for making tahini, thanks to its high nutrients and fatty acids which give the Tahini a smooth and creamy texture, as opposed to the thicker, pastier texture produced by other seeds. Pepperwood Organics, is a New York-based, world-leading tahini company that is focused on providing its customers with the highest quality organic sesame products, while creating a more clean and healthful environment.
