Can you make tahini at home? Sure. But here’s why you shouldn’t.
We get it. You’re ambitious in the kitchen, and we love that! Maybe you’ve even tackled sourdough starters, made your own almond milk, or spiralized a zucchini or two. So the idea of making tahini from scratch? Totally doable.
And you’re right, it is possible to DIY tahini. Toss some sesame seeds in a food processor, add a splash of oil, and blend until your blender starts smoking (kidding… kind of). You’ll end up with something that resembles tahini. But here’s the thing: it’s not Soom.
While there’s something satisfying about making things from scratch, homemade tahini recipes often turn out gritty, bitter, or way too thick. Why? Because the real magic of amazing tahini comes down to the quality of seeds, the technique, and consistency. Soom Tahini is only made from sesame seeds, no additional oils.
There’s a reason why Soom is trusted by top chefs, recipe developers, and food lovers alike. We enforce a gold standard and only use high-quality, premium sesame seeds, such as the white humera grown Ethiopia.
We love your DIY spirit. But when it comes to tahini, let us save you the time, mess, and maybe even a busted blender. We’ve already done the hard work, so all you have to do is drizzle or pour straight from the jar.
You can find Soom Tahini at a variety of grocery stores like Whole Foods, Walmart, Publix, and Harris Teeter. Use our store finder to find Soom on a shelf near you or order from Thrive Market or Amazon.
