Tahini is an underestimated superfood. It’s packed with iron, potassium and magnesium (three things many people are deficient in due to the modern standard Western diet) and is also one of the best sources of calcium we can consume.
Made from ground sesame seeds, the golden coloured paste also contains methionine, which aids in detoxing the liver and is a 20% complete protein, which makes tahini a higher protein source than most nuts. One more bonus? It’s very easy to digest, so works well for anyone who suffers with digestive issues like IBS, IBD, heartburn or bloating.
