Tahini is a delicious and nutritious spread that can be used in many different recipes. It’s also organic! Have you ever wondered how it’s made? This article will go over four steps to show you how organic tahini butter is made.
Soaking the Seeds
After the organic sesame seeds have been selected, the bran must be removed from the kernels. This is done by crushing and soaking organic sesame seeds overnight before they’re ground into a pulp. Many people use dates when making homemade nut/seed butter because of their ability to balance out sweet, salty, or bitter flavors during this process. Organic tahini producers need to apply heat slowly at low temperatures, so nutrients aren’t lost while grinding the seeds.
Toast
The seeds are then allowed to rest for several hours before they’re slowly heated up. The kernels are continuously stirred, so they don’t burn or become too dry during this process. Homemade organic tahini can be made in just ten minutes with the right equipment. Still, most people choose to let their organic sesame seeds naturally soak and toast for at least 24 hours to obtain the highest quality nut/seed butter possible. Tahini that’s freshly ground can taste better than store-bought varieties because of its smooth texture and a more potent flavor overall!
Ground Into Paste
After the toasting process, the seeds are then ground into a paste. The oil naturally found in organic sesame seeds separates from the tahini because of this process, which results in the thick texture that’s so common among organic nut butter! This means there are no stabilizers added, and it also means you can easily customize your own recipe based on how much roasted organic sesame seed oil you’d prefer. Most people choose to keep their recipes light when they make organic tahini at home using only 100% pure ingredients. For example, simply adding salt instead of any extra flavorings or sweeteners.
Salt
As organic sesame seeds are ground, salt is added during the process to preserve organic tahini’s shelf life, which can be up to six months if stored in a cool and dark location. Many commercial brands of organic tahini don’t disclose how much sodium they contain because it might scare consumers away from using them regularly. However, lower-sodium options exist for those who suffer from heart conditions or hypertension. They are then packaged and sold.
To conclude, organic tahini butter is made with organic sesame seeds that are not exposed to pesticides. It is then ground into a paste and blended with salt, which gives it its creamy consistency.
