Sesame Butter

Sesame Butter is a paste made from ground sesame seeds and is widely used across Middle Eastern, Mediterranean and North African cuisines (often called tahini when smooth). It is a calorie-dense ingredient commonly used in dips, dressings, sauces and baked goods. As a source of plant protein and fiber, Sesame Butter provides about 17.7g of protein per 100g and also contributes a good amount of unsaturated fats and minerals such as iron and copper. It’s energy-rich and valued for its creamy texture and nutty flavor. From a nutritional perspective, sesame butter supplies quality plant protein and a favorable unsaturated fat profile, along with fiber and minerals; because it is concentrated in calories, using it in moderation or swapping to other nut butters can help reduce saturated-fat and overall energy intake when desired.
