Tahini.

Did you know there are 2 main types - hulled and unhulled.

I personally always choose unhulled tahini, as it is made from the whole sesame seed, leaving its nutritional value intact.

5 healthy facts about tahini

1. A great source of unsaturated fat – add to your smoothies and protein balls or use as a dressing over salads and vegetables

2. It's one of the best sources of calcium

3. A higher protein source than most nuts and seeds as it has 20% complete protein – helping to keep you satiated for longer

4. Can help aid liver detoxification as sesame is a good source of Methionine

5. It’s rich in minerals such as phosphorus, magnesium, potassium and iron, and a good source of amino acids, vitamin E and many of the B vitamins
