Learn More About Sesame Seed Butter
Are you looking to change up your peanut butter? You can start with sesame butter. Sesame butter is rich in nutrients and flavor. It can be used to spice up any dish. It is also an excellent alternative for people with nut allergies and is naturally gluten-free.
Sesame Butter and tahini (sesame paste) are often mistaken. Sesame seeds must be slow-roasted at the lowest temperature to release their nuts, then ground with a millstone to make sesame butter. You can also use sesame seed butter as a peanut butter substitute.
This produces a creamy, smooth sesame oil, sometimes called "raw tahini". However, you will need to mix sesame butter, water, lemon juice, and salt with parsley and other spices to make tahini.
