Nutrition Fast Fact

Super Seed Sauce

Usually sesame seeds just hide out in our bread, but when you grind a bunch of them together, you get tahini: a rich, creamy, and delicious sauce thatā€™s actually healthy! They have plenty of micronutrients and, like other whole plant fats, can help the absorption of vitamins and phytonutrients from greens and other foods. Their lignans are anti-cancer, and sesame/tahini also has demonstrated anti-inflammatory abilities, as well as lowering cholesterol. Try it with salads, grain bowls, toast, or anywhere a satisfying spread is needed.
