Have you ever made porridge with tahini? It might sound like a little bit weird combination because of a strong nutty flavour of tahini. But… It actually tastes absolutely goergous! That’s why I made this amazing apple and tahini porridge!
Jump to RecipePrint RecipeIn the case you don’t know what tahini is, let me explain. Tahini is a paste or butter made of hulled, ground, and toasted seasame seeds. Where do you find tahini? Usually in hummus as it’s a main ingredients along with chickpeas!
Why should you eat tahini? It contains many beneficial nutrients. You can find magnesium, phosphorus, iron, and calcium in tahini. Many people are wrong when they think that tahini contains a huge amount of fat which is harmful for your health. That is wrong! Tahini contains fat but most of this fat is mono- and polyunsaturated fats which are actually beneficial for your health, especially for heart health!
