Tahini is more than a tasty snack – it’s also full of minerals like calcium, phosphorus, lecithin, magnesium, iron and potassium. You’ll find sesame seeds are a better source of protein than most nuts, and they’re full of B vitamins as well. Tahini is a high alkaline food, which makes it easy for your body to digest. It’s a rich source of “good” fats (unsaturated fats), filled with the goodness of pure crushed sesame seeds.
