What is Tahini and where can I buy it?!


Question: What is Tahini and where can I buy it!?
I wanna make some hummus but i don't know where to find this ingredient!. I looked at Walmart but i couldn't find it!. Anyone know where I could find it!? Or have a recipe for hummus that doesn't call for Tahini!?Www@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
Tahini is a paste made from ground sesame seeds!. You can find it at any Middle Eastern or Indian grocery store!. Whole Foods should carry it (it'll either be in the deli section, or over where the peanut butter is) and some regular supermarkets carry it in the "Ethnic foods" aisle!. I even saw it at Costco the other day!.

If you still can't find it, don't worry about it!. The hummus will still taste good without it!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Basically it's sesame butter!.!. or paste!. It does add a good flavor to hummus compared to not including it!. Typically I make hummus with it, but it can be made with just chick peas, olive oil, lemon juice, and freshly minced garlic, ground up in a food processor!. Tahini can be found in the typical oriental market or greek, indian, middle eastern markets!. May be listed under different names in each!.
I love hummus! Always have some in the fridge at all times!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Walmart does not carry it!. Health food sections do however!. It is sesame paste!. I use it all the time, make hummus alot! Get the kind in the jar, not the can!. Jarred is less bitter!. Hope this helps!.

Freddies has it in their health food section!.!.!.!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
