Why are some tahini brands runnier than others? Does it indicate lesser quality or make a difference as to what it should be used to make? Thanks! =)

I don't know why. not all tahini taste the same some brands taste better I think that Lior tahini taste very good.

Sesame seeds have a high oil content. It is very important to stir the contents of a container from the bottom up. The solids settle in the bottom of the container and can form a very dense mass. You must incorporate the entire contents of a given container before you use it. You will see it begin to thicken during this process.

I think it depends on the kind of sesame seeds that is used to make the Tahini. I have tried many kinds and they all taste the same once you process it.

I do think there are some inferior products. I really like Lior as it does not separate as much as other brands. Joya brand really separates and the oil sits on top and the bottom is like a brick. It is pretty much impossible to stir the oil into it. I never have that problem with Lior.

Last year I bought some tahani made from black sesame seeds. It's got significantly more flavor, which I kind of like. I don't think it has any added salt. I got it from Dipasa. They have both the regular and the black tahini in both jars and 40# pails. I like it!

Hi Shirley, thank you for your question, I believe 95% of people will find this valuable when researching for the right brand. I cant comment on other brands because we are not in the market of bad mouthing others. With that said, I believe we have two things that is ahead of 99% of other brands. 1: Quality 2: Customer support. I cant say which one of the two is #1, but what I can say is we take very good care of our customers i.e providing additional tips and support to help you reach your goal (whatever that might be.) 94% Of our customers love our tips and detailed guides. We dont believe in sending you paper leaflets which will block up your mail box. I hope this will help. All the best P.S, we have been in stock for the last two weeks.

The brand we bought is labeled "Food Safe" but some brands are processed differently. Some contain a chemical preventing the Safe label. Read the ad carefully.

Potato starch, agar, tapioca starch, ground cashews, any rice flour, how much to use depends on how thick it needs to be. Is it for scrambled egg or pancake? Each would be different. Sorry I couldn't help more, I cook by instinct. My favorite VEGG use is Carbonara with tahini to replace bacon flavor....heaven.

I find there is a slight difference in taste. It is subtle to me and hardly noticeable. However, with the regular noodle you geta stronger taste of the sauce that you are using. This is so subjective, it is hard to describe.

I read reviews on both and they seem to be equal in quality. The question would be if nutriteam as a company stands behind its product - in terms of customer service, repairs etc - ike Tribest does. Otherwise I don't see a difference. I personally would still prefer my tribest red and black one because of the high quality customer service at Tribest.

I noticed that too, but the main reason I buy this product is because it is unbromated, unbleached, fresh and high quality. Organic became buzz word just like "fat free", "all natural" or "star compliant", to the point I have seen bag of potatoes with label "fat free" affixed on it. (?hmmm). Wheat will not grow just from rain water - it needs fertilizer, hopefully natural one yet does not need deadly pesticides or being genetically enhanced like some grains. How about genetically altered soybean organic milk - yes it is all organic because no bug will even wants to seat on it now. Bottom like - beware of fine print and play of words as "natural flavoring" is actually one of approved names for MSG. To me the most important is that Bob's Red Mill offers fresh and natural grains. I purchase on regular basis sunflower seed, pumpkin seed and few other products from this company and so far never had any issues with quality, taste or freshness.

I would imagine it's just marked like a food item meaning it's still good after that date, but just best used by the date marked. Being an oil like product (but maybe some preservatives in it), if it's too far past the 'best by date', it could go rancid. You would smell it if it was bad.

The original extreme 60 is what I have used for years and it works great. More protein with less additives than the competing brands. As far as I can tell the ripped has a thermogenic in it and other traces of fat burners. As for taste it is pretty much the same, maybe very subtle differences.

I would suggest that Amelia proceed with additional research of other brands. The product I purchased states it comes from rice. I recall some others came from sweet potatoes or wheat. Any amount of wheat would be so small it's doubtful it could create a problem or at least that's my thought.

No kidding!! EVERY brand is the same shape, same hardness. I swear they are all made by the same company and just resold under different packaging, so don't bother trying to get a different brand. I tried cutting them up and mixing them into wet food (to which I always add a little water anyway). My thought is that they would soften and take on the smell/taste of the wet food I know they like. It seemed to work OK (just OK), but I couldn't tell if BOTH of my cats were getting dosed and by how much. I finally just switched to a powder form that should mix evenly with a wet food, which I can better monitor.

I used the same exact products and here I am trying to figure out why this second batch in my new yogurt maker is grainy, bitter and even adding 2 tsp vanilla doesnt seem to help it. The whey was all seperate when I removed to the fridg so sorta though oh oh! Im even using a termometer and follow all the directions but now thinking even tho it didnt boil maybe it was to hot. A real science to this after all.

Very light tan color. I do not detect a toasted or roasted flavor. The consistency is thinner than I would expect from roasted seeds. It is very similar to the tahini I have obtained at Whole Foods ( their 365 brand).

I can't find any place that tells you what other ingredients are in the NOW brand. This brand tell everything about what it has and hasn't got in it. I feel this brand is purer. I don't trust brands that wont show all info. I normally trust Now brand but not this time.

Sounds yummy and healthy. I would mix up a small portion, couple of Tbsp, with sweetener (powdered sugar?) and see how it goes in a test batch. Have you ever tasted Halevah? It's a candy made with sesame and honey into a bar, sometimes with cocoa powder added - very yummy. Very high oil content to Tahini, runny at room temp and refrigerated. Might want to try some cream cheese mixed in to thicken it and help hold in place. Not sure what the 1/4 cup amount signifies, but I would think you might want to make a butter cream recipe and use Tahini in place of butter for the amount, or even use 1/2 butter, 1/2 Tahini. Depends on how you like the flavor and if this is a flat frosting or is expected to stay on the sides of a cake.
