I store it in a glass jar in the pantry and it should last for 3-6 months. Or you can store it in the fridge in a plastic container for 3-6 months but it will harden and you have to take it out of the fridge 30 minutes before using it.

3-6 months. or you can just leave it in the pantry, I leave my tahini in the pantry.

I'm glad you are going to give it a try. For tahini, just look at the ingredients, it should just be sesame seeds and oil, and if you can find one in a glass jar that is also good, but if not then it's ok. Just make sure there are only 2 ingredients.

And you are doing amazing,keep up the good work.. Thanks

I would make a new batch. You need to just lightly toast them, when you over toast them then the tahini becomes bitter.

Can't wait to try this. Tahini in my local Kroger goes for about $9 for a 16oz jar.

I like to keep it real and add light sesame oil (not toasted) instead of vegetable oil and not so much oil as to turn it into a runny sauce. Just my preference. Thanks for posting your videos Dede.

Hello! So i tried to make tahini today for fresh homemade hummus.... But i over roasted the sesame seeds and then when i blended it into a paste...its turned out to be darker than your Tahini, plus its a little bitter. Do you think I can still use it for my hummus? Or would i need to make a new batch? Thanks for your recipes... great website :)

whole grain roasted, skip the toasted them in the oven step and just put them in a warm pan for a few minutes, just to warm them up and get the oils going before blending them up, this will help get them smooth.
By: dedemed

yes you can use any oil
By: dedemed

yes
By: dedemed

no, but you can add oil
By: dedemed

well if you burn them then yes. but you need to lightly toast them in order to bring out the oils and it makes it easier to blend them up and it also adds flavor. You can definitely make it without toasting them but you will have a different flavor of the tahini :)
By: dedemed

Can I make the tahini without toasting the seeds? I heard that when you roast any kind of seeds, you loose some of the oils and they can become toxic. Thank you!
By: ThankfulSC

The only Sesame seed available where i live are either : - whole-grain and roasted - or: raw but ground seeds which one one should get ?
By: HA Syr

By: Juweria Mansoor
