To the point: raw tahini might also be bitter because the sesame wasn't ripe enough or because it wasn't fried very well. But basically, yes - if it's too bitter than it's not of high quality. @Alice – thanks for your kind words.

I'm still searching for the best raw tahini's, I've made my own from fresh sesame seeds, I've bought 30 dollar 15 oz. jars, I've bought 5 dollar jars, I've tried so many, but have yet to find the best! I would like to order some from Nablus and Galilee, don't care how much it costs, because I'm a hummus maker and need tahini with a good energy to feed the ora of my friends, family and me.

I am a vegan and sesame for us (let alone for everyone) the best source of calcium there is available. Although whenever I picked up a pot of tahini and read its nutritional values the calcium amount accounts for 0%! Would you be able to tell me more about this please? Cheers, Alessio.

I tried making hummus with it, and I can tell that it definetely doesn't have a subtle delicate flavor. It tastes very bitter and strange. I've tasted good hummus before, and it didn't taste like that. Is there something wrong with the Tahini I'm using? Or am I just adding too much? I recently bought the Arrowhead Mills tahini product.

I'm American and have grown up with hummus as an option my entire life. Now, I live in Northern Italy, in a tiny town, and we only have one little 'asian' food store... they have never heard of tahini (or hummus for that matter)! Help! I've seen several online recipes, but they vary greatly - some use peanut oil, some olive oil. Some add water and salt, some don't. You seem to be the expert on this subject, judging from my quick glance at your (excellent) blog... I'm headed to the grocery store today with the express intention of ending up with the ingredients for hummus! Any help in would be greatly appreciated. :) -Mariana I would also like to make the raw tahini from scratch for hummus. I’m American and have grown up with hummus as an option my entire life.

I live in Sudan- the brands available are different but sudan is the biggest producer of sesame. I bought some tahina called al taif, and it was awful, rough and perhaps expired. But then I tried one Alhalwani brothers, much better with a smooth taste. I put it everywhere, for example when I have milk with cereals I add yogurt and tahina. yummy!

Is this possible/advisable? I've tried recipes for making what seems to be raw tahini by blending sesame seeds in a food processor, but all the recipes use some kind of oil to blend with the sesame seeds. Also, this homemade tahini does not have the desired effect when I blend it with water compared to store bought tahini. Whenever I buy tahini the ingredients just say "sesame seeds," and no oil. This is leading me to believe that tahini factories just use some equipment I don't have to puree the sesame seeds finer than I can with a food processor. Is this true? Should I just give in and buy tahini to use in my hummus? Thanks for any help I’d like to make hummus completely from scratch, which mean I’d like to make the tahini myself.
