Tahini is made from ground sesame. It is mostly used in different types of hummus or baba ghanouj, but has many other uses as well (such as this tahini smoothie).

What aisle is tahini in?

You can find tahini in a jar in the condiments or oil aisle of your grocery store.

Does tahini need to be refrigerated?

Yes. Store tahini in the fridge once you open the jar to keep it fresh. Stir the tahini well before using it as the oil can separate to the top after it sits for a while.

How long does tahini last?

Tahini normally lasts about 1-2 years. Always check the best before date on the jar.
