BENEFITS OF TAHINI
Tahini is a smooth, creamy paste made from ground sesame seeds. It is not only a flavorful addition to dishes but also a powerhouse of nutrition. Rich in healthy fats, protein, and essential vitamins and minerals, tahini provides a range of health benefits.
One of its key advantages is its high antioxidant content, which helps combat oxidative stress and supports overall health. Additionally, tahini contains anti-inflammatory compounds that may help reduce the risk of chronic diseases such as heart disease and arthritis. It is also a great source of important minerals like magnesium, calcium, and phosphorus, which contribute to bone health and muscle function.
Moreover, tahini is known for its potential to support the nervous system. It contains B vitamins, including B1 (thiamine), which plays a crucial role in nerve function and energy production. Its healthy fats, particularly unsaturated fatty acids, contribute to brain health and cognitive function.
Whether used as a base for hummus, drizzled over roasted vegetables, or blended into your smoothie, tahini is a versatile and nutrient-dense ingredient that can be easily incorporated into a balanced diet.
