Tahini
Tahini is a paste made from ground sesame seeds. It is a major ingredient in hummus and other dishes from the Middle East. It can be purchased fresh, in cans or dehydrated. Tahini comes in two varieties - 'hulled' and 'unhulled' respectively. Both types of tahini are relatively high in vitamins and contain a small amount of protein. Unhulled tahini is quite bitter, but has a much higher ratio of vitamins, calcium and protein because the sesame seeds are ground whole.
