Exploring the Truth Behind Commercial Tahini Production
Common Additives in Tahini.. In the commercial world of tahini, it's often found that manufacturers add cheaper oils like peanut or maize to cut costs. This not only lowers the quality of tahini but also brings in allergens and extra fats that can affect health and flavor.
Covering Up Low Quality... Many tahini makers use poor-quality sesame seeds and then add artificial flavors to hide this fact. This misleads customers and creates concerns about the health impacts of these artificial ingredients.
Loss of Nutritional Value... When tahini is mixed with ingredients other than sesame, its nutritional worth goes down. Key nutrients such as calcium and fiber are lessened, reducing the health benefits that pure tahini normally provides.
Sacrificing Quality for More Production... Some tahini producers make more product by compromising on quality. This results in tahini that doesn't have the rich flavor or creamy texture of the authentic product.
