Many supermarket tahinis are over-roasted, which gives them an unpleasant, bitter flavor. They are also too thick and hard to stir into a creamy blend. Soom's tahini has a full, nutty flavor as well as a pourable and well-balanced texture, made from roasted and pressed premium white sesame seeds that have an ideal oil-to-protein ratio.
We test everything we sell. Here’s how we’d use this.
Use in any recipe that calls for tahini, such as classic hummus, baba ghanoush, or other dips. Create a quick Beet-Tahini Dip:
Yields about 1½ cup
-8.8 ounces cooked beets
-1 cup Soom Tahini
-2 tablespoons lemon juice
-Kosher salt
It's also perfect for adding nutty depth to dressings for salads or for tossing with roasted vegetables. For dessert, try using Soom tahini in place of unsweetened peanut butter.
If your tahini has been sitting for a while, be sure to give it a vigorous stir to reincorporate any solids that sink to the bottom of the jar.
Soom Foods is a Philadelphia-based team of sisters who, in 2013, began importing the best tahini available to the United States from Israel.
