Living Tree Community Foods Organic Sesame Tahini is created in Berkeley, California from alive, raw organic sesame seeds grown by Mexican family farmers. It is produced slowly, in small batches, to give it a wondrous, creamy texture. Imagine it in hummus, alive pies, or combined with organic honey for a deliciously decadent halva.
We use mechanically hulled sesame seeds. In our proprietary process, we make the tahini slowly, over several days. We slice the sesame seeds and never grind. This preserves the flavors and properties of the raw sesame seeds. We make it frequently, in small batches, so it’s fresh and alive.
Packaged in a BPA-free Glass Jar.
Country of Origin: USA
Manufactured in a facility that processes tree nuts. We are a peanut free facility.
What people are saying
I am a big fan of living tree community products -- the tahini and almond butter in particular. I remember the moment I tasted your tahini, I was astonished by the pure and lively taste. I knew there was something special about this jar of tahini I had in front of me. I have been involved with the farmers market scene down here in Los Angeles for awhile now, so I am always seeking out the best of the best when it comes to food, and let me tell you something, this tahini is the absolute best I have ever tried -- and this is coming from someone who has tried dozens of tahini all over this country and overseas.
Some people are wine snobs. I am a tahini and almond butter snob. The only brand I will eat is from Living Tree. This has been my stance since I first became acquainted with the excellence of these butters, which was quite a few years ago. Whether making papaya pudding, vegetable hummus, salad dressings or any other place tahini is called for, this is the stuff!
