Tahini is a rich and creamy spread made from one simple ingredient, sesame seeds.
It has been a staple in Middle Eastern and Mediterranean kitchens for thousands of years. Today, tahini remains central to traditional dishes like hummus, baba ghanoush, and halva. But with its versatility, tahini has become a global pantry essential.
Along with its deep nutty flavor, this tiny but mighty seed is considered a superfood by many. Each serving of Soom Premium Tahini has 6g of plant-based protein, and is filled with vitamins, minerals, and healthy fats. Who knew one little seed could do so much?
Great tahini starts with high-quality sesame seeds. For our tahini, we source sesame seeds grown where the soil and weather conditions are perfect for producing plump seeds with a mild, nutty flavor. At harvest time, sesame stalks are hand-cut and shaken to release the seeds from their pods before being ground into rich, buttery Soom Tahini.
Sesame is a drought tolerant crop (that thrives where other crops fail) and doesn't require special harvesting equipment, making it a more accessible crop for farmers around the globe!
Sesame uses 800+ gallons less water per pound to produce than almonds
