Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use this tahini to speed up weeknight meal prep?
Yes. The pre-mixed, pourable texture lets you add it directly to dressings, dips, and grain bowls without any stirring or prep, which saves valuable weeknight time.
Will this help me batch-cook hummus faster?
Yes. Because the tahini pours smoothly and is already mixed, you can drop it into a food processor with chickpeas, lemon, and garlic for a fast batch of hummus.
Is the bulk twin pack worth it for a household that cooks a lot?
Yes. The 1 lb pack of 2 lowers the per-ounce cost and ensures you always have a backup jar on hand so you do not run out mid-recipe.
Does the pourable texture make dressings easier to emulsify?
Yes. The smooth, wetter consistency blends quickly with lemon juice and water, so you can whisk a creamy lemon-tahini dressing in under a minute.
Can I keep this on a meal prep station without constant stirring?
Yes. It comes pre-mixed and stays emulsified in the fridge, so you can grab it during prep without scraping the jar or re-mixing separated oil.
Is this a reliable tahini to keep stocked for fast hummus?
Yes. With a month-plus refrigerator shelf life and pre-mixed texture, it is reliable to keep on hand for whenever you need to whip up hummus quickly.
Will the twin pack keep me from running out of tahini mid-month?
Yes. The two-jar pack gives you a backup jar so a frequent home cook can use tahini several times a week without running out before the next grocery run.
Can I use this as a fast marinade for tofu or chicken during prep?
Yes. It blends easily with lemon, garlic, and spices to create a quick Middle Eastern-style marinade you can use on tofu, chicken, or eggplant in minutes.
How does this tahini compare to a thicker paste for fast cooking?
Thicker tahinis often need water, oil, and a long stir to become usable, while 365 Organic Tahini pours immediately, saving time during busy prep sessions.
How does this compare to a tahini that separates and needs stirring?
Tahinis that separate waste prep time because you have to stir the oil back in, but 365 Organic Tahini comes ready-mixed so you can use it straight from the jar.
Is this a good tahini to keep on hand for last-minute recipe ideas?
Yes. Because it works for hummus, dressings, marinades, sauces, and baking all in one jar, it is a productive staple to keep ready for last-minute dinner ideas.
Will the smooth consistency help me build better salad dressings faster?
Yes. The pourable texture means you can shake a creamy lemon-tahini dressing in a jar in seconds without fighting a thick, clumpy paste.
How do I make classic homemade hummus with this tahini?
Combine 1 can of drained chickpeas, 1/4 cup of 365 Organic Tahini, the juice of 1 lemon, 1 garlic clove, and a pinch of salt in a food processor. Blend while streaming in cold water until smooth, then drizzle with olive oil before serving.
How should I store the tahini after opening?
Store the jar in the refrigerator with the lid tightly closed. The pre-mixed texture stays smooth, and it typically keeps its flavor for a month or longer when refrigerated.
Can I use this tahini for baking, like cookies or brownies?
Yes. It works well in tahini cookies, halva, swirl brownies, and tahini brownies, where it adds moisture and a rich, nutty flavor without extra oils.
Does this tahini work as a substitute for roasted tahini in hummus?
Yes. You can substitute it for roasted tahini in most hummus recipes, and add a small amount of roasted sesame oil if you want a deeper roasted flavor.
Is this tahini compatible with vegan, kosher, and non-GMO diets?
Yes. It is naturally vegan, kosher, USDA Organic, and QAI Non-GMO certified, so it is compatible with all of those dietary preferences.
What is included in the package when it arrives?
You receive a sealed 16-ounce recyclable glass jar of 365 by Whole Foods Market Organic Tahini, or two 16-ounce jars if you order the 1 lb pack of 2. No additional accessories are required.
Is the glass jar safe and sealed when shipped?
Yes. The jar is sealed at the facility and ships in protective packaging. Customers consistently report that jars arrive fresh, sealed well, and with no leaks.
Does this tahini contain any added oils, preservatives, or sweeteners?
No. The only ingredients are 100% ground toasted organic sesame seeds and salt, with no added oils, preservatives, stabilizers, or sweeteners.
What is the difference between tahini and sesame seed paste?
Tahini and sesame seed paste are essentially the same product — both are ground toasted sesame seeds. Tahini is simply the culinary term most often used in Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cooking.
