Title: Tahini not the same as store bought??
Post by: Yummiemummie on December 03, 2012, 01:15:34 am

Hi,

I only just tried making the tahini recipe this weekend, it's thick and glugy like peanut butter. Has no shine to it and is not a runny consistency like store bought. I only buy organic tahini that only uses sesame seeds. I purchased some organic seeds to mill and roasted them like it says, then I added sesame oil. Just a bit bummed its not the same thing! Not the same texture either... Am I the only one who has experienced this?

I have made it and it takes a LOT of grinding.  Although I can buy the seeds very cheaply,  I will not bother to do this in future.

Yeah, I must admit I really prefer the flavor and texture of store bought... Although at my demos this week the customers didn't seem to mind?! Maybe ill make it for demos and keep buying my favorite organic planet brand one!
