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 its fresh and alive.
