About Sesame Paste
A paste made from ground sesame; outstanding calcium.
Health Benefits of Sesame Paste
High-calorie but also very nutrient-dense
Tahini is ~618 kcal per 100g. High as that is, it's densely nutritious: ~19.2g protein, 5.9g fibre and an excellent plant-calcium source (~1170mg/100g, above milk). With plenty of sesamin and vitamin E, it's 'real nutrition in every spoonful'.
Portion control is the key
A tablespoon (~15g) is about 93 kcal. Blend tahini into cold dishes or noodles for aroma and plant calcium - a classic in sesame noodles, liangpi and hotpot dipping sauce. Dilute it with warm water before mixing for easier portion control.
