                         Tahini is a nutritional powerhouse!

                                            Why, you ask?

  • Raw tahini contains all of the essential amino acids, making it a complete protein. This is great for the typical question all vegans/raw vegans have been asked- "Where do you get your protein?" Either guide them to research the protein myth or simply list Tahini as a fabulous source!
  • Here is a list of the vitamins and minerals it is rich in: 
-lecithin
-calcium
-vitamin E
-tryptophan
-magnesium
-iron
-copper
-phosphorus
-thiamin (vitamin B1)
-zinc
-selenium
-essential fatty acids
-methionine
-vitamin E


                Why raw tahini instead of roasted tahini?

~The answer to this question is simple. When you roast the sesame seeds that tahini is made out of you kill a lot of the helpful enzymes that we want and need. Also, the nutrient level decreases significantly when the seeds are roasted. When in doubt- buy raw!
