I've tried a few different varieties of Tahini over the past two weeks. Normally, I always purchased the brand called Ziyad because that is packaged in glass and I really like the idea of buying products in glass instead of plastic. Strangely I can barely tell the difference between all the new recent versions of tahini other than the brand called Sahtein because it just seems to have a more robust nutty flavor that hit's the palet quickly. But my real post is more about asking you if you have had any experience with the brands of tahini that purchased recently. I hope you can give me your opinion on the quality and taste of these tahini brands. Ziyad: This is the brand I started with when I discovered hummus, and now after I've tried more tahinis, it seems to taste like any same tahini. Sahtein: seems to be the most tasty Alwadi: tastes the same as any tahini Alkanater: tastes the same as any tahini I hope you have tried these brands and want to share with me what you think about them because I don't know anyone else that loves hummus like I do lol.

Ziyad: This is the brand I started with when I discovered hummus, and now after I’ve tried more tahinis, it seems to taste like any same tahini.

Sahtein: seems to be the most tasty
Alwadi: tastes the same as any tahini
Alkanater: tastes the same as any tahini

I hope you have tried these brands and want to share with me what you think about them because I don’t know anyone else that loves hummus like I do lol.

The best brand of tahini in the USA is ZEINA, made in lebanon. It is the creamiest, nuttiest one available in the USA, hands down. If you see other brands around you, just get the Zeina brand if it is available. For all who care, I have been trying tahini since I was a hoy in Jerusalem.

I checked. In fact, when I returned triumphant with my jar of Karawan, and showed it to one of the merchants, he asked me to bring a few back for him next time I was in Carmel market in Hell Aviv. Not for resale mind you - for his own personal use. This is a guy who sells Al Jamal by the gallon at Machane Yehuda. Now if you know something I don't, then stop being all cryptic and dish. It'll be a public service. or write an article about it on <a href="http://www.jerusalemite.net" rel="nofollow">jerusalemite</a> and I'll link to it. For free even. Chutzpah: Raw tahini paste ought to be easily available wherever Israelis are. The Holyland Market on St. Mark's place in Manhattan for sure will have at least the Israeli brands but any kosher establishment worth its salt will have it too. I don't know what brands are popular but I do know that i never had a problem gettin' me some in Montreal... harry: No you can’t. I checked.
