 Very Nice Tahini November 23, 2007
David Ross (Rochester, NY USA)

I use tahini primarily to make hummus dip for fresh vegetables and pita bread. This is a fresh tahini paste (vs roasted) with a fresh nutty-sesame flavor. This tahini is more liquid than other tahini that I have purchased. You may need to adjust your hummus ingredients to use less liquid to get the consistency you prefer. The current price point of $5.00/lb ($30 for 6 pounds) is OK (previously very reasonably priced from $3.00 to $3.79 per pound.) In addition, 6 pounds is a huge quantity for me despite my liking for hummus.
Hummus can be prepared in 5 minutes in a food processor if you start with canned or cooked chick peas. You may need to stir the tahini before using as it tends to separate. Start with 1 clove garlic; chop and then mince in the food processor; add a 15 oz can (drained,reserve liquid) chick peas, 1/3 cup tahini, 1/3 cup olive oil. Mix and process at high speed until smooth; adjust thickness with reserved liquid as needed. Add seasonings such as salt, pepper, cummin or lemon juice to taste.
Whether you call it tahini or tahina, this sesame seed paste is also used to make halvah, a candy and debis which is the Middle East version of peanut butter and jelly.

Fresh and Delicious! This is my second case and will be back for more once this is done too -- makes awesome hummus and is also delicious as a replacement for Peanut Butter for those of us that can't have highly sugared types!
Great Stuff!!

I use this tahini to make hummus. It is not too thick and not oily at all.
The best raw tahini I've ever had July 26, 2009
William Sribney (White Lake, NY USA)

This is the best raw tahini I've ever had -- and I've tried many brands. It does have a very strong "raw tahini" flavor however, which some people may not like. But this strong flavor was exactly what I was looking for. Unlike one reviewer, I found little bitterness in this tahini -- I'd say it is far less bitter than the average raw tahini. If you want a mild tahini, go with a roasted one, not a raw one. But if you want a traditional tahini for traditional Middle Eastern dishes, I strongly recommend this one.
I've used this tahini in hummus, baba ghannouj, sauce for falafel, and sesame noodles. The results have been fantastic with the tahini flavor coming through in the final product, whereas other tahinis you can barely taste.
As another reviewer noted, this tahini is more liquidy than other tahinis, no doubt due to a higher oil content, so you may have to cut back on the other liquids or oils in the recipe.
