Tue, 26 Oct 2010 06:42:38 +0000 http://www.bookofyum.com/blog/?p=5009#comment-147537 I finally found a tahini that I am happy with! At Nuts Online, there is this tahini: http://www.nutsonline.com/cookingbaking/seeds/sesame/tahini.html -- it is organic and gluten-free, and comes in a glass jar not a can. But best of all, it lacks the rancid taste that most tahini has. Yum! I just wish it wasn't so expensive. I finally found a tahini that I am happy with! At Nuts Online, there is this tahini:

I've tried arrowhead mills (i think that was the brand) in a jar. But, actually, I usually use the brand pictured above in the shopping widget in a can. It is reasonably priced and tastes good (although it still is bitter). Adding sweetener and an acidic note to balance it out helps. I think it is just the nature of the seed. You can also grind your own, which I have been known to do. This nicely evades the BPA issue. Hope this helps! -Sea Valerie-

I just never seem to like it no matter how I make it! Yours looks so good though and I LOVE tahini!! I don’t know why I seem to have such an aversion to eggplant.

You are right, I used honey. And the same tahini. :) Now that I taste the honey alone, I may agree that that was a big part of the difference. Next time I'll try dissolving some of my superfine baking sugar and use that instead, I'm way too cheap to buy agave when I've got the awesome sugar! (And I do love that sugar, so must find non-whipped cream ways to use it.) Ha! You are right, I used honey.

Tue, 13 Jul 2010 17:25:50 +0000 http://www.bookofyum.com/blog/?p=5009#comment-112336 By the way, I am curious what brand of tahini you use. I've had lots of problems with bitter tahini from jars, and I'm leery of cans because the contents get contaminated with BPA from the can liners. So I'm on a quest for a good non-bitter brand of tahini -- though preferably in a jar. By the way, I am curious what brand of tahini you use.
