Question 1

What can I use tahini for?

Accepted Answer

Tahini can be used in a variety of ways. In addition to the use for our all-time favorite - Hummus (surprise, surprise) - sesame butter is excellent as a dressing for bowls and salads. But also pure as a spread or as a dip for falafel, tahini is a real treat.

Question 2

Can I eat sesame paste during pregnancy?

Accepted Answer

In general, the moderate consumption of tahini during pregnancy is safe. However, it is best to talk about this again with your doctor.

Question 3

Is black tahini also suitable for desserts?

Accepted Answer

Oh yes! We say only black sesame ice cream, Tahini brownies, Tahini cookies, Crunchy Tahini Granola - your creativity has no limits. If you don't want to use the ice cream maker or the oven, we also offer sweet variants of the sesame paste in our store: tahini with cocoa and organic tahini with coconut, which you can use pure as a spread.

Question 4

How do I store tahini and what is its shelf life?

Accepted Answer

The tahini is best stored in a cool and dry place. In the original sealed jar, the shelf life of our sesame paste is at least 16 months with proper storage.

Question 5

What is Tahini actually?

Accepted Answer

Tahini is a sesame paste originating from the Arab region. For our black tahini we use the best black sesame seeds in organic quality. In the production, the unhulled black sesame seeds are gently ground until a creamy paste is formed.

Question 6

Is this black tahini organic?

Accepted Answer

Yes, our tahini is 100% organic.

Question 7

Does the black sesame paste taste bitter?

Accepted Answer

Opinions often differ on the perception of the taste of tahini as bitter or not bitter. Our black tahini can be described as very aromatic and slightly nutty and is perceived as slightly less bitter than the light tahini. But tastes are known to be different, so it's best to just try it and see for yourself!

Question 8

Can I make sesame puree myself?

Accepted Answer

Of course, to make tahini yourself is not so difficult. In principle, you only need one ingredient: sesame seeds. If you like it a little sweeter, you can add agave syrup. Toast the sesame seeds in a pan without oil and stir constantly until they are lightly browned. Then let it cool down a bit and put it (together with the agave syrup if you like) into a powerful blender. Now you need to be patient, as it may take a while for the grains to turn into a creamy paste. When you're happy with the consistency, the sesame puree is ready to be eaten. Does all this seem a bit too much work for you? Then simply buy our delicious organic sesame puree ready-made - we'll be happy to do all the work for you!

Question 9

Is black tahini vegan?

Accepted Answer

Yes, our black tahini is made from 100% organic sesame seeds and is therefore purely vegetable.

Question 10

Is sesame paste healthy?

Accepted Answer

We at KoRo do not like to divide products into "healthy" and "unhealthy". However, the nutritional values of tahini need not hide. Our sesame puree is a vegetable protein source and also brings a high fiber content.

Question 11

Is black tahini gluten-free?

Accepted Answer

Our black tahini consists of 100% black sesame seeds and therefore only ingredients that naturally do not contain gluten. However, it is possible that there may be unknowing contamination with gluten-containing grains during harvesting or processing, which is why we do not label the product as gluten-free.

Question 12

How many calories have 100 g black tahini?

Accepted Answer

100 g of our black sesame paste comes to 629 kcal.

Question 13

Is there a substitute for tahini?

Accepted Answer

Alternatives for tahini are hard to find, because the taste is really unique. However, our nut mushes are very similar in consistency and can serve as a substitute in a pinch - feel free to try your hand!

Question 14

Tahini, tahini or sesame puree - what's the difference?

In a nutshell: There is none. Whether you say tahini or tahini, or use the more common German terms Sesammus or Sesame paste, is purely a matter of taste and entirely up to you.
