Soom Premium Tahini
$8.95
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. The Soom brand is nutty, well-balanced and has a lovely pourable texture. This single-origin tahini is made out of white sesame seeds from northwestern Ethiopia that have an ideal oil-to-protein ratio. The seeds are harvested by hand then sent to Israel, where they are ground into pure-tasting tahini with a perfect consistency for using in all kinds of recipes.
Try it in our ultra-smooth Israeli Hummus or baba ghanoush. We also mix it into yogurt with a handful of herbs and a pinch of salt for a quick dip or sandwich spread—this Beet Tahini Dip we tried in Egypt is also a must. Or use tahini in our Cauliflower with Tahini, or brush over mixed grilled vegetables—peppers, onions, eggplant—with a squeeze of lemon or lime juice before serving.
On the sweet side, try tahini drizzled over vanilla ice cream with honey, or swapped out for peanut butter with your favorite jam on whole-grain bread. We like tahini best with apricot or raspberry jam, where the acidity sharpens the sesame flavor. Stir it into oatmeal or cream of wheat and sprinkle with brown sugar and cardamom or cinnamon. Tahini’s bittersweet flavor perfectly balances chocolate; try our Tahini Swirl Brownies or quick Chocolate-Sesame Pudding.
